36th Annual St. Patrick's Day Parade and Festival

PARADE - North Myrtle Beach welcomes you to a sea of green! The St. Patrick’s Day Parade is the largest on the Grand Strand, with over 100 parade entries and a long history of fun. The parade begins promptly at 9:00 p.m. Be sure to set up by 8:30 p.m. with your friends, family, beach chairs, blankets, and golf carts.  You don’t want to miss this two-hour phenomenon.

The parade will begin on Ocean Boulevard at 2nd Ave North and proceed south to 1st Avenue South. WPDE personalities Ed Piotrowski, Connor Ingalls, and Jennifer Abney will be announcing the parade at the Community Stage located at Main Street and N. Oak Drive. For those who can’t make the parade in person, it will be broadcast LIVE on CW21.

FESTIVAL - After the parade, continue the fun with a street festival! Three stages of live entertainment will keep you in the Irish spirit all day.  Expect Irish Pipe Bands, Irish Dancers, and many more live performances.

Over 120 vendors will display their crafts.  Food vendors and Main Street businesses will have a variety of Irish treats and festival food favorites for everyone to enjoy.  Keep an eye out for all the street entertainers and leprechauns that scurry around this festival.  Bring the “wee” ones to enjoy the children’s area that is full of rides and games for all ages.

Festivities end at 4:00 p.m., but before you leave, stop by the Information/Parks and Recreation tent to purchase a souvenir t-shirt to end your glorious day.
