Omaha is a city that is about a quarter Irish, with historical roots stretching back to the 1850s. Add in the fact that March is officially Irish-American Heritage Month, and you have plenty of St. Patrick’s Day-themed events to check out all month long.
Here are seven things to do in Omaha for St. Patrick’s Day in Omaha.

144th AOH St. Patrick’s Day Parade
- The Old Market (15th and Howard)
- March 11 |10 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.
The 144th Ancient Order of Hibernians (AOH) St. Patrick’s Day Parade will occur in the Old Market on March 11. The parade is free and starts at 10 a.m. sharp, where the crowd will group at 15th and Howard streets and travel east on Harney to 11th street, south to Howard, and then west to 14th and Howard.
St. Patrick’s Day is not just about wearing green and bar hopping; though the parade has a wide-ranging appeal, it serves a vital purpose in keeping a spirit alive. While everyone celebrates this holiday differently, the annual parade represents the rich cultural contributions and struggles of the Omaha Irish community since the 1860s.
There will be a sky of blue and sea of green, with vendors serving one-of-a-kind arts, crafts, eats, and drinks along the way. To become a participant or sponsor, visit aohomaha.com to register.
