Sponsored by the MS Gulf Coast Chapter of Quota International, Shenanigan's is a family-oriented parade, held on the third Sunday in March each year.

The popular tourist event and local favorite, celebrates the Irish heritage of so many of us on the MS Gulf Coast, as well as the many blessings we enjoy: faith, family and friends.

The parade includes more than 50 units, with marchers, antique cars, floats, bag pipes and more. Spectators come from as far away as 100 miles, to catch the unique "prizes" thrown from the many colorful units... wooden nickels, beads, mini green beer steins, cabbages, potatoes and onions.

Entries in the parade are judged on their creativity, and awarded prizes at the disband site.

The parade's Grand Marshal and a Colleen are selected each year by members of the Quota Club.
