Springdale Rotary Presents:

Greening of the Creek St. Patrick's Day Festival
Saturday, March 14, 2026, at Turnbow Park in Downtown Springdale: the Leprechauns are returning to Springdale and bringing their floating friends and plenty of shenanigans with them!

The St. Patrick's Leprechaun Race is the feature event of Springdale Rotary's celebration of all things Irish. Spring Creek running through Downtown Springdale will turn a lovely shade of green* to herald the return of our lucky friends to Shiloh Square and Turnbow Park. Join us for a day of fun in Downtown Springdale with music, games, giveaways, and the leprechaun race in Spring Creek. The sponsor of the winning leprechaun will take home the leprechauns' pot of gold!

The fun starts at 12:00 noon with an Irish Dance Demonstration by Rince Arkansas Academy of Irish Dance.

Sponsor a Leprechaun for $10 Each - win the Leprechauns' pot o' gold! Online leprechaun sponsorships coming soon!

Proceeds of the Greening of the Creek St. Patrick's Day Festival and Leprechaun Race support Springdale Rotary's projects and programs to Do Good in Springdale, including our Third Grade Literacy Project, college and workforce scholarships, Christmas food baskets, Book Barrels and Food Pantries, and much more!
