2026 Greenville St. Patrick's Day Parade and Festival

The Greenville St. Patrick's Day Parade and Festival is an annual, family-oriented, all-volunteer celebration of Irish culture and heritage in Downtown Greenville, SC. The event features a parade that proceeds up Main Street, followed by a large festival at NOMA Square. The festival includes traditional Irish music, dancing, food, beer, and activities for the entire family. A key purpose of the event is to raise funds for charities, often supporting the St. Baldrick's Foundation for children's cancer research.

3. Beer Truck
