What is the World's Shortest St Patrick's Day Parade?

The World's Shortest St. Patrick's Day Parade is Hubbardston's signature annual event, held every March since around 1970. The parade's tongue-in-cheek name celebrates the fact that the route through this tiny village is extremely short — from the village park through the Four Corners and down N. Washington Street to Shiels Tavern, where a bagpiper performs at the finish. Lineup begins at 11:45 AM with the parade stepping off at noon. The day includes a 5K run, Irish Dance Troupe performance, corned beef sandwich plates, and an American Legion celebration running from 2 to 10 PM with live music.
