Murphy’s St. Patrick’s Day River Parade

The parade is held in the 2 ½ mile downtown area of the River Walk. A procession of 14 decorated river barges filled with Irish entertainment can be viewed from anywhere on the parade route. Several bagpipers will grace the barges along with other entertainers. This event started in 1968 and has been organized by the Paseo del Rio Association and the Harp & Shamrock Society of Texas since that time.
