St. Patrick’s Day Fun in Champaign-Urbana

St. Patrick’s Day family celebrations in Champaign-Urbana

We’ve compiled a bunch of fun ways to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day with kids in Champaign-Urbana

For what is traditionally a “party” marked by green beer and shamrock t-shirts, there just so happen to be family-friendly community events – many of which are free – around St. Patrick’s Day all over Champaign- Urbana.

Many events require pre-registration; please double check the details to see if this is the case for the event you plan to attend.

A few things to keep in mind. All of the events listed below are “kid-friendly” events, but may still take place in locations where adult drinks are served.

In case you need a reminder, St. Patrick’s Day is actually March 17 every year, regardless of what day of the week it falls on. However, many St. Patrick’s Day themed events occur before and even after that.
