Bellingham St. Patrick's Day Parade

March 15, 2026

Bellinghamʼs St. Patrickʼs Day parade is a great chance to connect with our community! The parade is in honor of all local safety personnel, and itʼs also a chance to green up our beloved Bellingham and celebrate all the great businesses, groups, schools and nonprofits that make this community what it is.

Everyone's invited to join in the fun. Whether you decide to march in the parade, (all family-friendly, nonpolitical groups are encouraged!) or spectate from the sidewalks of downtown Bellingham, we welcome you to join us for this community wide event and help us celebrate all the ways we can make Bellingham greener!

We acknowledge that Whatcom County is located on the unceded territory of the Coast Salish Peoples. They cared for the lands that included what we’d call the Puget Sound region, Vancouver Island and British Columbia since time immemorial. This gives us the great obligation and opportunity to learn how to care for our surrounding areas and all the natural and human resources we require to live. We express our deepest respect and gratitude for our indigenous neighbors, the Lummi Nation and Nooksack Tribe, for their enduring care and protection of our shared lands and waterways.
