1:00PM - St. Patrick's Parade - Take me Home Irish Roads
Next, don your green for the 41st Annual Shawnee St. Patrick’s Parade, hosted by the Irish American Club of Johnson County. The parade kicks off at 1:00pm, marching down Johnson Drive from Monrovia to Nieman Road. It’s a time-honored tradition featuring marching groups, decorated floats, and plenty of Irish spirit! Parade participants have a chance to win great cash prizes, including $500 for first place. Line-up begins at 11:30am at Johnson Drive and Monrovia, and the celebration concludes with an awards ceremony immediately after the parade in front of the judges' stand.

3:30PM - 4:30PM - Duck Race
The fun doesn’t stop there! After the parade, head over to Herman Laird Park for the Annual Duck Race at 3:30pm. Watch hundreds of little plastic ducks float down the water course, navigating rapids and obstacles. Feeling lucky? Each duck could win up to $1,500! Ducks are $5 each, with proceeds benefiting the Shawnee Sister Cities program. Ducks are available for purchase at Jake's Place (12001 Johnson Drive), or you can grab yours on race day at the Shamrock O'Market or the Knights of Columbus Hall.
