The St. Patrick’s Day Parade is a long-standing Sacramento tradition, celebrating its 28th anniversary in 2026. Families, friends, and communities make memories at Old Sacramento Waterfront on March 14, 2026, with the celebratory Parade starting at 12:30 PM.

This event engages our community partners who join in the parade, but also our district’s diverse community of small businesses.

With multiple promotions like the Taste of Ireland and the Leprechaun Hunt, the energy and joy of St. Patrick’s Day can live longer than the 24 hours of March 14th or a single Saturday. Bring your friends and family and join us for a fun-filled season of luck!

If you’d like to participate in the St. Patrick’s Day Parade, fill out and submit THIS FORM, and we look forward to seeing you on the big day.…
