The 35th Annual
Kansas City St. Patrick's Day Parade

When:
Monday, March 17th, 2008 (St. Patrick's Day)
Time: 11:00 am
- 1:00 pm

Where:
Downtown Kansas City

Begins at Pershing and Grand and proceeds North to Truman Road.


Plan ahead when arriving...
With the large amount of construction Downtown, plan on arriving early to minimize traffic congestion and leave yourself time to find parking. Please be considerate of the area businesses - without their continued support this Parade would not be possible.

Again this year, the entire Parade route will be lined with barricades. This was extremely successful in the past in keeping the Parade route open for participants and ensuring spectators that arrived early could maintain their view of the Parade throughout the day. The barricades will be in place before spectators begin arriving so please plan accordingly - crossing the Parade route from east to west or vice-versa, either on foot or in your vehicle, will be very difficult.
