    Frequent Questions

    We appreciate all of our elected officials and their service to our community. 

    Just a reminder that since 2020 we made a decision not to include political group participation in the Dundee St. Patrick's Day Parade. Our decision was not made lightly, but we encountered many issues in the past, some of which became a safety concern. 

    Please feel free to join the crowds, mingle with the spectators and enjoy the festivities! Thank you in advance for your understanding and cooperation!


    YES! Parade Participants on floats CAN NOT THROW CANDY!  Your float can be accompanied  by walkers that pass out candy to kids along the way~
