58th Annual St. Patrick’s Day Festival and Parade Heads Back to Historic Downtown Henderson

If you’ve ever wanted an excuse to eat shepherd’s pie, watch a leprechaun dance, and pretend you know how to Irish jig—all in the same weekend—Henderson has you covered.

The 58th Annual St. Patrick’s Day Festival and Parade is set to take over the Water Street District from March 13–15, bringing with it a triple-header of live entertainment, family-friendly rides, and enough emerald green to make Kermit jealous.

Hosted by the Southern Nevada Sons and Daughters of Erin, this annual shamrock showdown is more than just a parade—it’s a full-blown cultural celebration. Think Celtic performances, classic carnival eats, and rows of vendors that smell like funnel cake and nostalgia.

Parade day is Saturday, March 15, and yes, locals are already calling dibs on curb spots. But the party starts long before that.

Here’s the quick hit list:

Whether you're there for the bagpipes or the corned beef tacos (yes, those are a thing), this is one of Henderson’s signature events that feels like a small town and parties like a big one.

This isn’t just another green beer bash. The St. Patrick’s Day festivities have been a Water Street staple for nearly six decades, making it one of the longest-running parades in Southern Nevada. It's where generations of Henderson families come to wave at the floats, cheer for the dance troupes, and sneak one more ride on the Tilt-A-Whirl.

Want to be in the parade? Submissions are open until February 22, so now’s the time to wrangle your group, build a float, or at least find a kazoo.

Mark those calendars, pull out your best green gear, and get ready for a weekend that’s equal parts family reunion and festive block party.
