History
Snake Saturday Parade & Festival in North Kansas City, MO began in 1983 as a promotion for Rodeway Inn. There were 4 floats and a Grand Marshal. The temperature was 10 degrees, so the parade took place in the motel parking lot allowing people to view from their rooms and the coffee shop. The parade winner that year was a young lady, who rode on the back of a Harley Davidson motorcycle wearing a bright green bikini. The parade has celebrated every year since, whatever the weather and always on the Saturday before St. Patrick’s Day.
