St. Patrick's Day Parade and Festival

Join us in downtown Lexington for the Lexington St. Patrick's Parade and Festival.

The Parade
Lexington St. Patrick's Day Parade and Festival

The St. Patrick's parade is the longest-running citywide civic event in Lexington. We look forward to continuing the tradition in downtown Lexington this year.

The Lexington Division of Parks and Recreation produces the annual parade and festival with community support from local businesses and cultural organizations.

The events are part of an all-day celebration that traditionally begins at 10:45 a.m., with the annual “Blessing of the Keg” at Henry A. Tandy Centennial Park. The parade begins at 1 p.m. and goes down Main Street from Midland Avenue to Mill Street.

The Festival
Our yearly festival lineup features musicians, singers and dancers from across Kentucky and (sometimes) around the world! Join us at Henry A. Tandy Centennial Park in downtown Lexington.
