Murphy's St. Patrick Day River Parade and Festival

Come watch this exciting parade along the 2.5 mile Riverwalk including barges of entertainment and the dyeing of the river green. Floats release 35 pounds of environmentally friendly green dye into the San Antonio River. The event transforms the river into a miniature Emerald Isle where a proclamation is read, temporarily re-naming the river "The River Shannon". www.thesanantonioriverwalk.com

Saint Patrick's Day

Also known as St. Paddy's Day or Paddy's Day, is an annual feast day which celebrates Saint Patrick (circa 385–461 AD), one of the patron saints of Ireland, and is generally celebrated on March 17. Saint Patrick's Day is celebrated worldwide by Irish people and increasingly by non-Irish people. Celebrations are generally themed around all things Irish and, by association, the color green. Both Christians and non-Christians celebrate the secular version of the holiday by wearing green or orange, eating Irish food and/or green foods, enjoying Irish drinks and attending parades.
