Each year, a week before St. Patrick's Day, St. Augustine kicks off the Irish celebration with their St. Patrick's Parade. As bagpipe players and Irish dancers make their way along the parade route, droves of tourists and locals flood the sidewalks, decked head to toe in their best green apparel. 

After the parade, which ends at Francis Field, the real festivities begin with the Celtic Music & Heritage Festival. Winner of the 2023 Best Festival in St. Augustine Award, you're in for a weekend of exceptional entertainment. Watch thrilling Highland Games, listen to foot-stomping Irish music, taste the finest whiskey, and eat classic Irish food as you explore the lectures, workshops, and vendors across the festival grounds.
