St. Patrick’s Day
The Spokane community comes together for all things green and Irish at the Annual St. Patrick's Day Parade. Considered one of the most fun and entertaining parades in the region, you'll want to snag a spot on the route before the parade begins at 12 pm so you don't miss out. Whether you're of Irish heritage or not, this parade is open to total community involvement. So, come and embrace the Irish spirit for the day and join us in celebrating Irish culture as the town embraces all things Ireland.
