media release: WKOW 27 news anchors Amber Noggle and Brandon Taylor will return as the grand marshals of the 26th annual Madison St. Patrick’s Day Parade, scheduled to take place at 1:30 p.m. Sunday, March 15, on the Capitol Square.
“Celebrating the annual Madison St. Patrick’s Day Parade is a wonderful tradition that brings people together to celebrate culture, community and giving back,” Joe Herr, event spokesperson and member of the organizing committee, said. “Each year we love to see families, friends and local organizations come together to support the event.”
Noggle and Taylor previously served as grand marshals in 2025, returning this year due to their continued community involvement and longtime support of the event.
The celebration will kick off with the Dane County Shamrock Club raising an Irish flag at noon in the Capitol Rotunda. A raffle drawing will take place at the Jameson Irish Whiskey/JP Cullen Afterparty at LJ’s Sports Tavern & Grill, located at 8 N. Paterson St., shortly after the parade concludes.
Similar to past years, the free event will travel counterclockwise around the Capitol Square, starting at Wisconsin Avenue and exiting at E. Washington Avenue. Proceeds will benefit Logan’s Heart and Smiles and Domestic Abuse Intervention Services (DAIS).
Spectators can expect musical performers, floats, Irish music and family-friendly entertainment throughout the route.
