The Memphis Irish Society has invited the Cooper Young community to participate in the Lucas St. Patrick’s Day Parade in Cooper-Young, taking place Tuesday, March 17, 2026 at 5:00 PM. It's the only St. Patrick’s Day parade held on March 17 in Memphis!

This year is especially meaningful, as Ireland has been named the Honored Country for Memphis in May 2026, making the parade a key kickoff to a season of cultural celebration across the city.
