Join Us For The 2025 St. Patrick's Day Parade & Celebration!

For 51 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 1.5 mile long route handing out 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.
