The Festival of St. Patrick is our largest event every year with live music across multiple stages, a variety of activities, and food & beverage booths.  In 2020 the Festival of St. Patrick will start Friday, March 13th at 6:00pm and last until Sunday, March 15th at 6:00pm.  The St. Patrick’s Day Parade will start Tuesday, March 17th at 10:15am. Hosting the festival and parade on different days will give law enforcement officials a chance to regroup between activities.

Wristbands

If you’re going to the festival, you will need to purchase a $10 wristband which is a cover charge for the street party.  Valid I.D. for those 21 and over required.  Wristbands are required for those drinking alcoholic beverages outside on public streets in the festival zone, which is from River Street to Broughton Street and Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard to East Broad Street. If you’re looking to join the party for more than one day, then you must buy a separate wristband each day. Wristbands are not required inside of establishments serving alcohol.
