World’s Smallest St. Patrick’s Day Parade and .5K Race
March 2024
(Organized by: Enterprise Chamber of Commerce)
Enterprise is the official Guinness World Record Holder for the “World’s Smallest Saint Patrick’s Day Parade.”
Celtic Highlights Include:
A person of Irish descent, generally dressed in festive garb and carrying a large Irish flag, is the only person in the parade. He, or she, walks one block from the courthouse to the Boll Weevil Monument and back to the courthouse. The parade has enjoyed national, as well as local attention and draws many visitors each year.
An addition was made in 2018 to add the smallest road race, a 0.5K after the parade to keep the small theme going and involve the large crowds who attend the event every year.
Downtown Enterprise is set to don a vibrant shade of green this March, as the annual St. Patrick’s Day Parade marches through its historic streets. 🍀 Organized by the Enterprise Chamber of Commerce, this spirited event promises to paint the town not just green, but also gold, orange, and every hue of Irish pride!
The St. Patrick’s Day Parade in Downtown Enterprise is a glorious celebration of Irish heritage, community spirit, and the belief that there’s a little Irish in all of us. So, sport your best green attire, bring along your family and friends, and join us in making this parade a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow!
May the luck of the Irish be with you!
