53rd annual Irish Celebration

From 53rd annual Irish Celebration Website:

The Houston County Area Chamber of Commerce, other local leaders, and interested citizens conceived the idea of an Irish Celebration for Erin in 1963. The focus of this annual event was to be the welfare, progress and promotion of the town and county. The local population went in the venture rather slowly. They liked the idea, but some felt it may be a bit too big for such a small body of citizens. However, the "Wearing of the Green" was a successful event that year and has continued each year to grow in interest and attendance. From the Grand Parade, Leprechauns and banquets to carnival rides, pageants and arts & craft booths, there is something for everyone. Relive the spirit of St. Patrick at one of the largest St. Patrick's Day celebrations south of Chicago!

From wee tots to wise old leprechauns, we have something for everyone. We invite you to join us in our celebration of heritage, family and fun! Don't forget to wear green!

Join us on each year, as we celebrate and be Irish for the Day!!! This celebration is the culmination of week-long festivities. Held in downtown Erin, TN, our parade travels from the Houston County Middle School to the Houston County Community Hospital. Around the Court Square you will find a plethora of food and crafts vendors, as well as entertainment on the Square Stage.
