2 E Main St., St. Charles, IL 60174

The St. Patrick’s Parade, hosted annually in Downtown St. Charles, has become a family tradition.

Thousands of people of all ages line Main Street to watch the antics of cheerful leprechauns, listen to award-winning local marching bands, watch the elaborate and colorful floats glide down the street, pay tribute to the walking units of veterans, hear the melodic strains of the Celtic pipe bands, and see all the best that St. Charles has to offer.

The St. Charles St. Patrick's Day Parade is the highlight of a day full of celebration, including an Opening Ceremony, Photo Opportunities, and more! Starting at 2pm, the parade will travel down Main Street, starting at 6th Street and concluding at 4th Avenue.
