St. Patrick's Day Parade 2026

This year's downtown portion of the parade will begin and end near the Sol Cypress Hotel (9th Street).

Please meet inside the lobby of the hotel to be called when your boat is ready for boarding on the downtown side of the dam & locks (about a 4-5 block walk). There will be food and drinks available for purchase while you wait.

Parking will be on your own, but we will provide a parking options map prior to the event.

The two themed boats for 2026 are "Wearin' O' the Green" and "Celtic Cowboy". Please come dressed the part to fit to the theme on your chosen float.

**Please note that all riders will be required to complete a waiver of liability by Visit San Antonio prior to boarding a boat.
