Emerald Isle Parade - CANCELED

After careful thought and much deliberation, Downtown Lee’s Summit Main Street has decided to cancel this year’s Emerald Isle Parade, scheduled for Saturday, March 14.

Increased calls for inclement weather, combined with growing concerns over COVID-19 have led us to believe the best decision for both parade participants and spectators is to cancel the parade.

“This is the first time, in 15 years, we’ve had to cancel this event,” said parade chair Nick Parker. “This is an incredibly popular family event in our community and it was not an easy decision to cancel. However, when considering the safety and well being of all involved, we believed this was the best decision we could make.”
