- Location - The event starts at Sixth and Main Streets in downtown North Little Rock before it travels through the Argenta Arts District, crosses the Arkansas River via the Main Street Bridge, travels east on President Clinton Avenue through the River Market District, and turns south on River Market Ave. The parade ends at Third & Cumberland Streets in Little Rock. Two of the best viewing areas for the parade are the River Market District and Third Street near Dugan’s Pub.
Extra St. Patrick's Day Fun: Don't miss the "Dancing at the Crossroads" show after the parade, including performances by marching pipe and bands, as well as traditional Irish dancing by the McCafferty Academy of Irish Dance and the O'Donovan School of Irish Dance.
The Parade is presented by the Irish Cultural Society of Arkansas (ICSA) as a fun, free family-oriented community service event for the residents of central Arkansas and is intended to celebrate cultural diversity in Arkansas. Founded in 1996, the Society, which is a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization, provides programs demonstrating aspects of the culture of Ireland for the education of Arkansans, many of whom have ancestors from one of the seven Celtic nations.
