The centerpiece of Spokane’s Irish celebration is the Annual St. Patrick’s Day Parade. The procession begins downtown and will snake its way around Riverfront Park. Everyone is Irish for the day, so come out to watch the flurry of marching bagpipes, green galore, traditional Irish garb, shamrocks, and lively dancing. The 45th Annual St. Patrick’s Day parade is scheduled for Saturday, March 14, 2026 at 12pm!

Northern Quest Resort & Casino has partnered with The Friendly Sons of St. Patrick to put on Spokane’s official pre-party the weekend before the St. Patrick's Day Parade. Sip Pacific Northwest beer and cider, taste Irish-inspired bites, and enjoy live music by the Shea Tea Folkin Irish Band. Head to Northern Quest for the pour before on March 7, 2026!
