St. Patrick's Day Festivities Return March 14, 2026

One of the biggest celebrations of the year returns to downtown Davenport - St. Patrick’s Day Weekend. From The Grand Parade and CASI’s St. Patrick’s Day Race to post-parade celebrations and specials, there are plenty of ways to celebrate in downtown Davenport.
