Join us downtown St. Paul, starting at noon on March 17th, 2026, for St. Paul’s 60th Annual St. Patrick’s Day Parade, the greatest in the nation!

This year, the parade will follow the long-standing, pre-COVID route used for many years prior to 2020. It will begin at Mears Park, run along 5th St, and conclude at Rice Park.

Where is the best place to park?
We recommend parking in lots & ramps along Kellogg and north of 6th St E. The staging area usually closes each year at 10 am. Then, 5th St E and intersecting roads between 6th St E & 4th St E close at 11 am.
