Parade Route:
Start on Bocook Street then to Lincoln, Mercer, Rogler, and finally to Community Building.
Community Picnic:
The community picnic will take place immediately following the parade on the lawn of the Community Building. Matfield Green Works will provide hot dogs, buns, condiments, cookies, and soft drinks. If you’d like to bring food or drinks to share, please do! It’s not a requirement for attendance but we love a good potluck. Matfield Green Works will have very limited seating so please bring your own chairs or picnic blanket.
The Three Parade Rules:
Everyone is welcome to join the parade! Our only request is to stick to this year’s theme, Luck O’ The Irish. As a reminder, this is a family and community event.
Have fun!
If you march in the parade and throw treats to attendees, please walk close to the side of the road. This ensures treats land in the crowd, not the road. We do not want little kids coming onto the road while chasing candy.
Prizes will be awarded for:
Best Decorated Float
Best Costume – Adult
Best Costume – Kid
Best Costume – Animal, defined as a pet or farm animal who walks with you under your control
To March in Parade:
If you’d like to march in this year’s St. Patrick’s Day Parade, send Theresa or Diana an email at matfieldgreenworks@gmail.com with your name and phone number, or show up on the day of the event. RSVPs are also accepted via Facebook or Instagram messages. We extend a special invitation to all local elected and appointed officials. Please identify your office, but please do not distribute election material.
