After a two-year hiatus, Kansas City will be “Doing an Irish Dance” along the St. Patrick’s Day parade route. Starting at the intersection of 33rd and Linwood Boulevard and Broadway Boulevard, Grand Marshal Pete McCluskey will lead the way as the streets turn green all the way to Westport.

If you’d like to be a vendor on the parade route, you have until March 10 to submit the application, which you can find here. You’ll need to include whether it’s food or merchandise you’ll be selling and whether it’s in a tent, truck, or cart.
