Celebrate St. Patrick's Day
Get ready to paint the town green as Oklahoma City gears up for an unforgettable St. Patrick's Day celebration! Canterbury Voices will embark on a musical journey, paying homage to the spirit of the Irish, the legacy of the saints (especially Patrick) and the timeless beauty of ancient melodies during their performance of For All the Saints at the Civic Center on March 14. Visit Stockyards City for the annual St. Patrick's Parade on Saturday, March 16. The parade will be led by the Slash O Ranch Longhorns, followed by St. Patrick, marching bands, bagpipes, Irish dancers, the Shriners, cool cars, community groups, equestrian entries and much more. The festivities continue on Sunday, March 17, with Sham-ROCK the Gardens: St. Patrick's Day Celebration at the Myriad Gardens. Enjoy dance routines by the McTeggart Irish Dancers of OK and music from Flowers of Edinburgh and Raven’s Three. Hear the sound of classic bagpipe music as the Oklahoma Scottish Pipes and Drums make their grand entrance through the Gardens. In keeping with tradition, the lake will be safely dyed a bright shade of green. And if you're looking for a pub experience like no other, head over to McNellie's in Midtown for their St. Patrick's Weekend block party. The celebrations will last all weekend long with traditional Irish fare, live music and great beer that will have you feeling like you've found the luck of the Irish right here in Oklahoma City!
Red Earth's signature event features Native American artists and dancers from throughout North America. Celebrate the richness and diversity of First American traditions and heritage with the world on March 22-24, 2024 at the National Cowboy and Western Heritage Museum.
Ring in spring while admiring over 50,000 tulips and enjoying an array of family friendly activities, food trucks, regional merchants and live music spread throughout the Myriad Gardens on March 30-31. There's no better backdrop for photos in OKC this spring!
