St. Patrick’s Day Un-Parade + Bartow Friday Fest

Put on your green and join us for a fun, free community celebration in Downtown Bartow! Our March Friday Fest kicks off with a Saint Paddy’s Unparade — an informal, just-for-fun march where the community gathers and walks together from Nye Jordan Park to downtown to start the night.

Interested in participating in the St. Paddy’s UNPARADE?? 

Calling all partygoers, families, and friends, this is your chance to shine in our uniquely fun and free community celebration! No registration or fees are required, just gather your crew, dress up in your most festive St. Patrick’s Day attire and meet us at the Nye Jordan Park around 5:00pm Friday, March 20! This is not a formally organized parade — no registration, no fees, just friends, families, costumes, and lots of Irish spirit making their way downtown together. 

The Unparade marches to its own beat, and EVERYONE is welcome to take part! Whether you want to walk, dance, or simply watch the fun unfold, we’d love to see you there. 

The festivities don’t end there, stick around for a St. Paddy’s Friday Fest featuring live music by Daniel Burns Band, delicious food, and plenty of fun for all ages on the 100 Block of Main Street!

So, round up your friends, get your green on, and let’s make this the most memorable parade yet!

If you are looking to be involved in the UNPARADE please contact Main Street for more information!

Friday Fest runs from 6-9pm – live music, entertainment, and Main Street Bartow Shops and Restaurants will be open.
