Celebrate St. Patrick’s Day in Downtown Fond du Lac!
Come for the parade, stay for the food, drinks, and fun!
On Saturday, March 15th the fun begins with the 2025 Green Mile Run/Walk – a one mile run/walk open to experienced runners as well as families and other community members wishing to run/walk together. Immediately following the Green Mile Run/Walk, enjoy the annual St. Patrick’s Day Parade filled with creative and impressive St. Patrick’s themed floats. Then stick around to enjoy tons of great shopping, food and drink specials, live music, green beer, and Irish fare hosted by Downtown Fond du Lac businesses.
The Downtown Fond du Lac Partnership urges you to celebrate safely and drink responsibly by designating a sober driver, utilizing the WI Tavern League Safe Ride program (www.tlw.org/saferide/), or booking an Uber, Lyft, or other ride service.
