The luck of the Irish returns to the Mile High City!
One of the most anticipated events in Denver is the annual St. Patrick’s Day Parade, a festive and fun event for all ages that celebrates Irish culture and heralds the start of spring. It’s one of the largest St. Patty’s day parades in the country, and the largest annual parade in Denver. And every year seems to be bigger than the last: It’s estimated that more than 200,000 people lined the route last year. In other words, get there early to get a good spot.
What should you expect? A seemingly endless array of horses and stagecoaches, marching bands, dancers, floats and Irish-themed fun with a Western flair. All in all, more than 200 entries and 10,000 marchers will take part in the festivities.
The parade begins at 27th & Blake Street in LoDo (just down the street from the Coors Field parking lot) at 10 a.m. and generally lasts until 2 p.m. Check out the parade route to pick out your viewing spot. Various Irish-themed events follow the parade through downtown Denver. If you’re looking to continue the fun into the night, check out this overview of Denver’s happening pub scene.
