The Official Topeka
St. Patrick's Day Website

A Topeka Tradition
in our 33rd year in
Historic Downtown Topeka!

The Celtic Street Fair invites the community to stay Downtown and continue the St. Patrick’s Day Celebration after the parade—with great music, food and drink.

Get an authentic Celtic Street Fair Koozie and support our great event for just $2! Each Koozie says "Sláinte" and is also marked "Topeka." Sláinte is used as a toast in Ireland and literally means, "health." Come on down and party with us and here's to your health, or "Sláinte!"

The Kelihans!

The committee is pleased to present the usual lineup of great Irish groups following the parade on March 17th at the Celtic Street Fair from 1:00 to 4:00 pm! This year, the committee is proud to present The Kelihans - a great Kansas City Irish group! This group will feed your Irish soul, while at the same time rockin your Kelly green socks off! And, we're back at The Historic Jayhawk Tower in the Florentine Room! This beautiful location is just steps away from The Celtic Fox and all the excitement of the day! You won't want to missin this fine event!

Watch The Kelihans!

As always, we are pleased to present the Kansas Territorial Pipe and Drum Band. In their 37th year, the band’s humble roots go back to 1975 when two very grown men took up the practice chanter for the very first time and learned how to play from a 14 year old bagpiper! No Irish celebration is complete without this awesome group of pipers!
