St. Patrick’s Day deals and events in Wichita

There won’t be a traditional St. Patrick’s Day parade in Wichita for 2022, according to the parade’s organizers, but if you head down to Delano around noon you might see a bunch of Wichita motorcyclists in an impromptu parade. 

Either way, you can find lots of ways to celebrate the holiday this year if corned beef is your lucky food. (Mine is Lucky Charms. They’re magically delicious.) Here are some of the St. Patrick’s Day deals and celebrations in Wichita we’ve found so far besides the motorcycle parade.

Most of them revolve around green drinks or classic Irish food. Plenty of them are Fake Paddy’s Day parties (held on Saturday instead of on March 17). 

Remember this is also spring break week, and we’ve collected a bunch of family-friendly spring break activities and events here.

Hopping Gnome gets an early start with the Irish Red tapping on Wednesday, March 9. (They’re not even calling it a St. Patrick’s Day event, but it’s Irish so I’m including it.) Then hop back over on March 15 for pre-St. Patrick’s Day with live music from Shawn Craver and food with Big B’s Beef food truck, which will be featuring its famous corned beef special.

PourHouse ICT will have Fake Paddy’s Day cocktail and beer specials all day along with a onesie party (didn’t know that was a thing) and photo booth. The event is on Saturday, March 12 from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. For 21+). 

Central Standard Brewing will also celebrate the Saturday before St. Patrick’s Day, on March 12 from 1-8 p.m. They’ll have a bag piper, Irish band, and Irish dancers! FREE admission. More info.

Chicken N Pickle will also start on March 12 with Fake Patty’s Bar Olympics from noon to 3 p.m., followed by St. Patrick’s Day food and drink specials all day on Thursday, March 17.  See event details.

About the St. Patrick’s Day Parade in Wichita:

We’re looking forward to the parade coming back in 2023 (hopefully!).

The annual St. Patty’s Day parade has become a fun family tradition in Wichita, with activities before and after the parade throughout the Delano District. While you’re in Delano for the St. Patrick’s Day parade, you can stop in at all the great little shops along Douglas and participate in other St. Patricks Day festivities.
