This year's festival will take place on Saturday, March 16th, 2019 at St. Agatha Catholic School- 7960 SE 15th Ave. Portland, OR 97202.
The parade, featuring the Sellwood Middle School Marching Band, will kick off the festival as hundreds of visitors, including children with decorated bikes and wagons, march through Sellwood and Westmoreland proudly wearing their Irish green.
A family-friendly festival will be awaiting the children as they return to St. Agatha Catholic School from the parade. Children of all ages will enjoy an old-fashioned carnival and high-energy entertainment under the Festival tent. Your taste buds will enjoy authentic Irish food and a selection of different options from local food cart vendors lined along the street. Ireland’s famous Guinness beer will be flowing in the beer garden along with other local favorites.
Each year we have hundreds of visitors from the local Sellwood/Moreland and outlining communities. Don’t miss your opportunity to support a school and parish that has been a strong presence in the Sellwood/Moreland community for 100 years and to give your business some recognition in the local community.
This year's festival is scheduled for Saturday, March 16th 2019 at St. Agatha Catholic School (7960 SE 15th Ave. Portland, OR 97202). See you there!
The St. Patrick’s Day Parade & Festival initially began as a dinner and festival for the school and parish of St. Agatha back in 1998. Irish dancers’ were invited to entertain the crowds and a traditional Irish dinner and homemade soda bread was served to all. The children of St. Agatha started their very own parade, encompassing only a few blocks around the school. Fellow student and bagpiper Sophie McDuffy led the parade each year, until she graduated in 2006. Over the years, the Festival and Parade has grown and flourished as we have opened our festival up to the entire Sellwood/Moreland community and beyond.
