Mark your calendars for March 15-17, 2025, because you won’t want to miss a single moment of the thrilling activities planned across the city.

Parade Extravaganza on the River Walk

One of the main attractions this St. Patrick’s Day will be the vibrant parade, featuring a variety of Irish-themed floats that will take over the San Antonio River on Saturday, March 15. The parade kicks off its first leg along the picturesque Museum Reach from 2 to 3 p.m., winding its way through one of the most scenic spots in the city. The fun doesn’t stop there; a second parade will roll through downtown from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m. Both parades are entirely free to view, so gather your friends and family and find a great spot to watch the floats go by!

Family-Friendly Fun at La Villita

While parades are a highlight, San Antonio has so much more to offer. La Villita will host delightful family-friendly celebrations, running on both Saturday and Sunday from 1 to 6 p.m. This charming area will be buzzing with live entertainment, exciting games for the kiddos, and numerous vendors showcasing local crafts and treats. It’s the perfect place to soak in the St. Patrick’s Day spirit while enjoying the view of fellow revelers soaking in the atmosphere.

Coronation and Fashion Show

As the celebrations continue, Saturday will conclude with a touching moment as the Coronation of the 2025 River Walk Royalty takes place. On Sunday, excitement continues with the much-anticipated Lucky Dog Fashion Show, where our four-legged friends can strut their stuff. If you’re interested in joining the canine fashion fun, make sure to register online beforehand.

Emerald Run 5K

For those who love to run, don’t miss the annual Emerald Run 5K, which kicks off at 11 a.m. on Saturday. Starting from VFW Post 76 at 10 10th St., the run promises to be a fun way to stay active during the festivities. Registration is available online for a fee of $40. Grab your running shoes, and let’s kick off the weekend with a dash of fitness and excitement!

Culinary Delights and Drink Specials

Of course, no celebration is complete without some tasty treats and refreshing drinks. Local bars and restaurants are rolling out special promotions throughout the weekend. The Cottage Irish Pub will host its third-annual Paddy Fest from March 15-17, featuring delicious Irish food, whiskey promotions, and lively music that will keep you dancing.

Stop by Finnegan’s Sports & Spirits for their enticing drink specials running from March 14 to March 17, where you can enjoy $3 green beers and $5 Guinness. If you prefer a more casual setting, Hotel Contessa will serve delightful food and drink specials during the same period, including a mouth-watering corned beef slider and, you guessed it, $5 Guinness.

Don’t forget to treat yourself at The Newstand with their themed iced matcha latte and matcha cookies. Meanwhile, La Panaderia will surprise you with a limited-time green concha, and if you’re a fan of shakes, Burger Boy will bring back the Lucky Charms shake through the end of March.
