Ornately-decorated floats, an official festival leprechaun and local musical favorite Mark Jones and Twenty Paces serving as the official grand marshal are some of the highlights attendees can expect at the event. Proceeds from the parade and its 5K Fun Run and Walk will benefit Cypress Creek EMS Education Scholarships, a special program which provides financial support for individuals completing their EMT training as well as training to join the Bike Medic Response Team.

Over the past five years, the parade committee has raised more than $100,000.
