St. Patrick’s Day in North Myrtle Beach is more than just donning green; it’s a vibrant celebration of community, live music, delicious food, and coastal charm. Each March, visitors and locals come together along the Grand Strand to enjoy parades, family-friendly festivals, and Irish-inspired events that fill the beach with excitement.
If you’re planning a spring getaway, now is one of the best times to go. Staying oceanfront at Prince Resort puts you close to the action, while still giving you plenty of space to relax after a full day of celebration.
The North Myrtle Beach St. Patrick's Day Parade & Festival
The annual St. Patrick’s Day Parade & Festival in North Myrtle Beach will take place on Saturday, March 14, 2026, along Main Street. The parade begins at 9:00 am, and after the parade, the festival starts at 11:00 am and runs until 4:00 pm. This event, held rain or shine on the Saturday before St. Patrick’s Day (March 17), is a one-day celebration that attracts thousands of attendees every year.
The morning parade features decorated floats, golf carts decked out in green, local organizations, and Irish dancers. After the parade, the official festival continues with three stages of live entertainment, food vendors, festive treats, and a dedicated children’s area complete with rides and activities. We suggest arriving early to secure your prime viewing spot along Ocean Boulevard and Main Street.
Keep the Festivities Going on Main Street
After the official festival concludes at 4:00 pm, celebrations continue throughout Main Street in North Myrtle Beach. Local restaurants and shops mark the holiday with Irish-inspired menu specials, live music, outdoor dining, and family-friendly activities. The atmosphere stays lively yet welcoming, making it easy for families, couples, and groups to enjoy the energy of St. Patrick’s Day without the overwhelming crowds often seen in larger towns.
Enjoy a Scenic Coastal Celebration in Cherry Grove
One of the special benefits of celebrating St. Patrick’s Day in North Myrtle Beach is enjoying the scenic coastline of the Cherry Grove area. March usually offers mild weather and cool ocean breezes, making it ideal for outdoor activities and beach walks.
Before or after the festivities, discover the peaceful beauty of Cherry Grove Beach. Take a sunrise walk along the shoreline with the kids or visit the famous Cherry Grove Fishing Pier for sweeping views of the Atlantic and photo opportunities of the sunrise as the backdrop. The mix of festive celebration and coastal relaxation makes this holiday weekend especially appealing for families and couples alike.
Located in the peaceful Cherry Grove area, Prince Resort provides the ideal home base for your St. Patrick’s Day getaway. Our guests can enjoy spacious one-, two-, and three-bedroom oceanfront condos, private balconies, indoor and outdoor pools, a lazy river, hot tubs, and direct beach access.
Instead of fighting traffic late into the evening, return to your oceanfront condo and unwind in comfort. The added convenience of a full kitchen and spacious living area makes Prince Resort perfect for families and groups celebrating the holiday together.
Since the St. Patrick’s Day Parade and Festival mark the start of the busy spring season, oceanfront accommodations for the weekend of March 14, 2026, tend to fill up quickly. With limited oceanfront options and high demand during the festival weekend, waiting too long may result in fewer condo choices and views. Booking early ensures you can secure your preferred dates, select the best available oceanfront spot, and lock in competitive spring rates before availability runs out.
From the vibrant parade on March 14, 2026, to live music, festive food, and oceanfront relaxation, St. Patrick’s Day in North Myrtle Beach offers the perfect combination of celebration and coastal charm.
