Snake Saturday is an annual event held in North Kansas City, Missouri, each year on the Saturday before Saint Patrick's Day. It consists of a family-friendly parade and festival that also serve as a charity fundraiser.

The event is named after the legend of Saint Patrick banishing snakes from 5th-century Ireland.[1]
