Everybody is Irish in Hot Springs National Park, Arkansas on March 17th!

We are officially ready for the 2012 parade! We hope you’re ready for fun and upcoming celebrity appearances-Tim Matheson, who played Otter in the legendary 1978 comedy “Animal House” among dozens of other notable roles, will be the celebrity grand marshal for Hot Springs’ First Ever Ninth Annual World’s Shortest St. Patrick’s Day Parade, which is earning a reputation as one of the best St. Patrick’s Day celebrations in America.

The ‘Spa City’ was painted green in 2011 when thousands gathered on Bridge Street for The First Ever Eighth Annual World’s Shortest St. Patrick’s Day Parade in downtown Hot Springs.  Celebrity Grand Marshal, John Corbett, star of television’s “Northern Exposure” and Aidan from “Sex and the City”, strutted down the short street and rocked out with his band following the parade. Click here for the highlights of the parade.
