It’s time to kick off the unofficial start of the season with St. Patrick's Day Parade. It is just around corner and will be here faster than you think! Benne Media will again host the Annual Lake of the Ozarks St. Patrick's Day Parade. The event will take place on March 14th. 2026 at 1:00 pm on the historic Bagnell Dam Strip at Lake of the Ozarks Missouri.
Deck the whole family out in green, grab the lawn chairs and head out to Bagnell Dam Strip for an afternoon of family fun watching the various floats, cars, motorcycles and yes even boats as they make trip along the Strip. And who knows you might even score some candy!
Thanks to everyone who supported last year’s parade, it became one of the largest the lake has ever seen, with an estimated 20,000 spectators. This year, our goal is to make the parade bigger, better, and safer. Because of this we may be closing some parking spaces along The Strip to allow more room for spectators. We are asking that everyone please keep as close the edge of the road as possible to keep everyone safe. In order to keep this long-standing lake tradition alive safety must be a top priority for all participants and spectators. There will be additional parking areas open up at the top and bottom of The Strip.
Please be careful driving down Bagnell Dam Blvd before the event while floats are lining up. The entirety of Bagnell Dam Blvd will be shut down at 12:30 and re-open around 3:00. You can exit or enter Hwy H.H. by using Hwy 242 and traffic will be let through at gaps in the parade.
Do you or your group/organization have a boat, float, car, truck, motorcycle, etc. that you would like to enter in the Lake of the Ozarks St. Patrick's Day Parade? You can download the official entry form and return it with your entry fee to Benne Media at 160 Highway 42, Kaiser, MO. 65047 or email it to lozstpattysparade@gmail.com no later than March 6, 2026.

As you can image a parade this large takes a large group of people to keep it moving. We are looking for volunteer positions to help with traffic flow, parking, check-in and many other areas. If you would like to be a part of the largest parade at the lake please send an email to lozstpattysparade@gmail.com or call 573-348-1958.
The Lake of the Ozarks St. Patrick's Day Parade is a Benne Media Event.
