St Patrick’s Day in South Dakota

The influx of Irish immigrants to the United States in the 1880s led many to South Dakota. Today, the Irish population is the third-largest ancestry group in SoDak.  Maybe that’s why the entire state seems to turn green every March as revelers celebrate all things Irish.

Celebrate the luck of the Irish at one of South Dakota’s premier events. Let your Wild West leprechaun loose in Deadwood with a weekend of festivities that bring more than 3,000 to the historic town. Have fun in SoDak’s largest city with the St. Patrick’s Day parade in Downtown Sioux Falls or kiss a chip of the Blarney Stone in the small town of Presho.

From parades to town-wide celebrations, there’s Irish fun awaiting you in South Dakota this St. Patrick’s Day. Sláinte!
