Each year a panel of esteemed judges select aware winners in the Brookside St. Patrick's Warm-Up Parade. With all the amazing entries in the parade each year, judges have the difficult task of selecting winners in four categories: Best of Theme, Spirit Award, Best Music and the Grand Prize. Award winners were selected by 2025 judges: Diane Euston, Writer, Greater Kansas City Historian; Ashtin Bryde, General Manager, The Roasterie Brookside Café; and Terry Engling, Retired Admin Director of Support Services & Community Relations at HCA Research Medical Center.

And the 2025 award winners are...

Thousand attended one of Kansas City's favorite annual events - the Brookside St. Patrick's Warm-up Parade. Perfect weather, wonderful parade entries and a crowd of green supporters made the 38th annual parade a huge success. Thank you to all that came out to celebrate. All the great parade entries made choosing winners difficult, but we did it!
