St.Patrick’s Day parade!

Published 1:30 am Friday, March 7, 2025

On Monday, March 17, EVERYONE is Irish! Wear your green and join your island friends and neighbors for a brief but beloved island event – the annual St. Patrick’s Day Parade.

If you want to bring props, decorate a float, ride in a car – it’s all your choice. The only requirement is to be green and be Irish. All participants stage at 11:30 a.m. in the rear parking area of Island Market (where the nursery has been). At noon, the parade takes off north up Prune Alley and then south on North Beach Road, ending back at the Market.

The Orcas Island Community Band and St. Patrick will see you rain or shine!
