The Official Topeka
St. Patrick's Day Website

A Topeka Tradition
in our 33rd year in
Historic Downtown Topeka!!

Welcome to the official Topeka St. Patrick's Day website!

We are looking forward to our 33rd Annual Celebration—Topeka St. Patrick's Day 2012! The 2012 events will be held on March 17, 2012, kicked off by the parade at high noon!

One of the best things about St. Patrick's Day in Topeka is the "Committee Meetings." The 2012 Committee Meeting Schedule will be posted soon. We get together to make decisions about our events...it's all very scientific mind you, and can't be done without a pint in hand. :)

(All Committee meetings will be held from 5:30 pm to 7:30 pm on Thursdays.)
January 12th - The Celtic Fox Irish Pub
February 2nd - The Governor's Row House
February 16th - The Celtic Fox Irish Pub
March 1st - The Blind Tiger
March 15th - The Celtic Fox Irish Pub

The Annual Parade at High Noon. Oh, glory be, a Saturday Parade. Wear your walkin shoes, this will be a big one!
