Celebrating St. Patrick’s Day in Hot Springs

HOT SPRINGS, AR – For one day a year, the City of Hot Springs is world famous. Not for its history or horse racing, but for something much more important, the World’s Shortest St. Patrick’s Day Parade.

The First Ever 8th Annual World’s Shortest St. Patrick’s Day Parade came in at exactly 98 feet, 10 full inches shorter than last year. The parade’s Grand Marshal was John Corbett, famous for his roles in “Northern Exposure” and the “Sex in the City” movies. Afterward, Corbett and his band took the stage to play for the tens of thousands of people who visited for the parade and accompanying festivities.
