The heart of Colorado Springs’ St. Patrick’s Day celebration is back with a full downtown takeover. The Annual St. Patrick’s Day Parade steps off at noon, running south on Tejon Street from St. Vrain to Vermijo, filling the streets with bands, floats, community groups, and just the right amount of Irish mischief. This is a free, family-friendly tradition that welcomes first-timers and lifelong locals alike—grab a curb spot, wear green, and make a day of it downtown.
The parade is the centerpiece of an entire weekend of events, including the required St. Paddy’s Day Sports Expo for runners, the 5K for St. Patrick’s Day, the Leprechaun Fun Run for kids, the Locate the Leprechaun Scavenger Hunt (happening March 7), premium Reviewing Stands, a Veterans Benefit Breakfast supporting Mt. Carmel VSC, and the ever-lively Paddy O’Pub on Tejon Street. Whether you’re racing, cheering, bringing the kids, or just here for the atmosphere, this is one of those weekends you don’t want to stumble upon by accident — plan it.
