St. Patrick's Day Parade and Celebration


For 50 years, Crosslake has been celebrating the coming of Spring with a St Patrick’s Day Parade. What started out in the 70’s as a remedy for Cabin Fever, has grown into a destination event for thousands of green-clad, Irish-for-a-day, weekend enthusiasts. Some build a float and travel the 2-mile-long route tossing hundreds of pounds of candy and trinkets, and others set up lawn chairs, days in advance to get ”their perfect spot” for family and friends.

Get Green & Groovy with official St. Patrick's Day caps, slings, tote bags. parade chairs and tumblers offered at the Crosslake Chamber of Commerce.  Get apparel, trinkets, costumes and more at Crosslake merchants city-wide!
