Snake Saturday Parade and Festival

North Kansas City’s festive spring kickoff
Celebrated annually on the Saturday before St. Patrick’s Day, Snake Saturday combines a lively parade, community festival, and themed celebrations — all in support of local charities.

We invite all committee members to join us at the 2026 Snake Saturday Parade and Festival on March 14. If you would like to walk in the parade with us, please complete the form below and we will follow up with event-day details and instructions.
Snake Saturday Parade Sign-up

If you plan to attend the festivities, we would also love for you to stop by our tent at the corner of Swift and Armour to vote on the T-shirt designs created by local high school students. The winning design will be featured at all seven watch parties this summer, and the student artist will receive a scholarship from Park University covering up to half of their tuition upon admittance to the university. Contact Park University Admissions for more details.
