St. Patrick’s Day Block Party & Parade

The City of North Charleston puts on the Lowcountry’s biggest St. Patrick’s Day party.  2025 will mark its 21st year.   

The fun kicks off with a giant parade at noon, followed by a Block Party with loads of food, libations of course (yes many of them will be green), live music, performances and activities for all ages. 

And get this  -  the parade, party and parking are all FREE.

Here’s some of what was on tap in 2024:
