St. Patrick's Day Shenanigans in Olde Town Conyers 

The city's traditional World's Fastest Growing St. Patrick's Day Parade is scheduled for Friday, March 15, 2024 at 5:00 p.m., in Olde Town Conyers! In case you weren't aware, everyone's Irish for the day in Conyers on St. Patrick's Day!

***The parade is being held rain or shine! Some elements such as select food trucks, children's activities (bounce house), etc., may not be available depending on the weather.***

The parade, a Conyers tradition since 1980, will be led by Grand Marshal Mayor Vince Evans and accompanied by a bagpiper playing classic Irish tunes. Local businesses, organizations and school groups will also participate. Dancers from the Drake Irish School of Dance in Norcross will perform at the Olde Town Pavilion in Randal S. Mills City Center Park following the parade. Anyone who wishes to participate in the two-block walking parade is encouraged to meet at the corner of Main and Center Streets by 4:45 p.m. There are no vehicles allowed in the parade.   

The annual crowning of a children’s St. Patrick’s Day Parade king and queen, best dressed pet, and winner of the leprechaun lookalike contest for adults will be announced at the Olde Town Pavilion. All guests are encouraged to dress in their best and most creative Irish attire.  

Following the parade is the World’s Shortest Endurance Run sponsored by the Rotary Club of Rockdale County. The run, 0.1 mile in length from the Conyers Welcome Center to The Pointe on Railroad Street, begins with a shotgun start at 6:00 p.m. and participants who enter will receive a T-shirt.
