Our Story
The Annual Muskegon St. Patrick’s Day Parade, stepping off at 11:00 a.m. from 4th Street and Clay Avenue and marching east along Clay to Jefferson Street. Families, organizations, fraternal groups, businesses, marching bands, churches and schools are invited to join in the fun and march in this exciting event! Sponsor your “clan” and walk the parade route or design a float and ride through downtown Muskegon along “O’Clay Street”! The only cost to march in the parade or sponsor a float is a non-perishable food donation to benefit Catholic Charities of West Michigan. The Greater Muskegon Jaycees “Cart Corps” will perform along the parade route, accepting food donations from the parade crowd and entertaining the assembled masses with their synchronized grocery cart maneuvers!
If your family, organization or group wants to march in the inaugural Muskegon St. Patrick’s Day Parade, please contact the Greater Muskegon Jaycees at [email protected] or visit www.jcimuskegon.org/theparade for registration and information. You can also pick up a packet in person at the Muskegon County Convention & Visitors Bureau, 610 W. Western Avenue in downtown Muskegon, 231-724-3100.
Registration forms are due back to the Greater Muskegon Jaycees by March 10, 2018.
Again, there is no cost to march or participate in the Muskegon St. Patrick’s Day Parade, just a donation of non-perishable food items. Spectators are encouraged to bring non-perishable food items to the parade for collection by the Greater Muskegon Jaycees “Cart Corps” along the parade route.
