The parade features numerous bagpipe bands, floats, hundreds of marching community organizations, and a tribute to a grand marshal who has made great contributions to the Kings Park Community.

Sue Benjes will lead the 2025 Kings Park Parade as grand marshal.

"Thousands of Kings Parkers and people from surrounding communities turn out on Main Street to see Irish eyes smiling with Kings Park Pride," the organizers wrote.
