SUNDAY, MARCH 17 The 41st Annual Kansas City St. Patrick’s Day Parade The resurrection of this Kansas City legacy did not occur until 1973.  In 1973 a group of friends meeting for a quick (or otherwise) drink and a bit of conversation at Hogerty’s Cocktail Lounge in downtown Kansas City decided a Parade downtown was just what the City needed; and so it began again.  Radio talk show host Mike Murphy, P.R. person Pat O’Neill, SR. and local saloon keeper Dan Hogerty’s brainstorm came alive in Kansas City. When St. Patrick’s Day Sunday, March 17 11:00 am – Start Lasts approximately 2 hours Route Midtown/Westport Broadway Boulevard Begins at Linwood/33rd Street and goes south to 43rd Street Mailing Address KCSPDPC P.
