What is the best
places to view it? The Parade Route begins at Sixth & Main Streets in downtown North Little Rock, travels through the Argenta Arts District, crosses
the Arkansas River via the Main Street Bridge, travels east on President Clinton Avenue through the River Market District, turns south on Sherman
St. and ends at Third & Cumberland Streets in Little Rock. The three best viewing and performance areas for the Parade are the Argenta Arts
District, the River Market District and Third Street near Dugan’s Pub.
There is entertainment after the parade: “Dancing at the Crossroads” will
take place on the grandstand following the Parade. This event will feature musical performances by marching pipe & drum bands and traditional Irish
dance performances by the McCafferty Academy of Irish Dance and the O’Donovan School of Irish Dance.
If it is a cold day, bring a warm hat, warm gloves, and warm shoes. For a sunny day, you’ll want to bring sunglasses, suntan lotion, and a hat. The parade goes on rain, shine or snow. And of course, it is traditional to be dressed in GREEN (or orange or white – colors of the Irish flag)!
Mass transit is a great way to get in and out to see the parade.
