An opportunity to shake off cabin fever and "say goodbye to Old Man Winter.   Come out to celebrate the impending spring" go back outdoors for a big community celebration.   Grab your green garb ~ clothing and accessories to join in on the fun! 

Live entertainment, specials, festivities, and of course Corned Beef can be expected throughout the day and night at bars and restaurants in both East and West Dundee on both days.  All events are in walking distance.

Activities:

Pet Parade 9:30 AM 

Kilted 5K

2023 Shamrocks for Charity: Over 10K in 5 YEARS! Since 2018 the Shamrocks for Charity project has collected more than $12,500!  Local establishments sell and display handcrafted postcard signed shamrocks for $5. Year after year our Shamrocks have been recycled and reused.  In 2022 we expanded and sold customized commemorative buttons and suspenders to help raise over $7000. In fact, we are very proud to say every penny collected for the Shamrock’s sale leading up to the Parade has raised more money year after year! 

BUY A SHAMROCK BUTTON FOR CHARITY

Those who want to get an earlier start to parade day can participate in the Dublindee Kilted 5K. The 8 a.m. race will start and finish in the parking lot of Lifeline Plumbing, Heating & Cooling, 296 Williams Place, East Dundee, and follow the Fox River Trail path. The first 300 entrants receive a kilt, pint glass, cold beverage and breakfast buffet.   

Fantastic fireworks sponsored by Bandito Barney's to take place over the Fox River on Saturday March 19, 2023 at dusk.   Lots of great places to view the fireworks along the Fox River and Main Street bridge.
