Mark your calendars for Saturday, March 15, for the 20th annual St. Patrick’s Day Parade. Presented by the Coeur d’Alene Downtown Association, in partnership with Idaho Central Credit Union, the parade will kick off at 3pm. Watch as the parade entries stroll down Sherman Avenue as they bring the Luck of the Irish to downtown Coeur d’Alene with marching bands, dancing, music, and festive floats! (The parade starts at 8th and Sherman and travels west down Sherman Avenue to the intersection of 1st and Sherman.) As the event nears, be sure to find additional details, including the 2025 theme, at CdADowntown.com.



My name is Jillian, and I have been an editor and writer here in Coeur d’Alene since 2006, during which time I’ve had the opportunity to work for nine publications across North Idaho, into Spokane and as far as Gig Harbor, Washington. I am grateful to have the opportunity to now focus all my attention, energy and passion on my local community, finding and sharing heartfelt stories, spotlighting the incredible people, showcasing local businesses, organizations and nonprofits, and of course highlighting the many wonderful events our area has to offer.
