Cool things happening on the Shore this weekend

11th Annual O’Nancock St. Pat’s Parade

The Town of Onancock has announced details for the 11th Annual St. Patrick’s Parade, scheduled for Saturday, March 14, 2025, at 3 p.m. The event is widely regarded as the “unofficial” start of spring on Virginia’s Eastern Shore and will again bring music, color, and community spirit to downtown Onancock.

This year’s parade theme is “Celtic Beats on Market Street,” highlighting Irish-inspired music and celebration throughout the historic district. Volunteers from the Onancock Business and Civic Association will again support the event.

In addition to the parade, the popular Classic Car and Tractor Show is expected to return to the grounds of Ker Place, weather permitting, from noon to 2:45 p.m. Organizers say additional parade and event details will be released in the coming weeks.

As part of the festivities, North Street will be closed during the afternoon for mingling, live music, shopping, and dining. Residents and visitors are encouraged to enjoy Onancock’s local shops, galleries, and restaurants while in town.
