An iconic Dallas celebration transforms Lower Greenville into a sea of green

Dallas, TX — The Lower Greenville St. Patrick’s Day Block Party returns Saturday, March 14, 2026, bringing a full day of music, celebration, and high-energy festivities to one of Dallas’ most iconic entertainment districts. Sponsored by The Vanderbilt to Vickery Association, this beloved tradition has defined St. Patrick’s Day on Lower Greenville for more than 30 years, drawing thousands of attendees each year.

Gates open at 9:00 AM, and Lower Greenville quickly becomes a hub for the day’s celebrations. This 21+ event creates a large-scale street festival atmosphere featuring outdoor bars, live DJs, beer tents, and venue-specific experiences from many of the neighborhood’s most popular restaurants and bars.

Eight of Lower Greenville’s most recognizable destinations will anchor this year’s celebration: Stan’s Blue Note, Dallas’ oldest continuously operating bar; The Dubliner, Dallas’ oldest Irish pub; Dodie’s Reef; Terilli’s Restaurant; Halcyon; Christie’s Sports Bar; Sister Restaurant; and Goodwins. Together, these venues showcase the distinctive character and energy that define the Lower Greenville Block Party.

The Lower Greenville Block Party is known as much for its atmosphere as its scale. Greenville Avenue comes alive with music, movement, and a crowd dressed head-to-toe in festive green, from shamrocks and bold outfits to playful accessories and costumes. Groups gather for photos, drinks are raised, and spontaneous pockets of dancing fill the street, creating the anything-can-happen energy that has become synonymous with Lower Greenville.

“The Lower Greenville Block Party has become one of Dallas’ most recognizable St. Patrick’s Day traditions,” said a representative of The Vanderbilt to Vickery Association. “There is nothing quite like seeing Greenville Avenue come alive in a sea of green. Our goal is to provide a fun, welcoming environment where guests can celebrate responsibly and enjoy the day safely.”

Guests can enjoy multiple entertainment activations throughout the event footprint, including three music stages. Participating venues will offer festive favorites such as green beer and festive food offerings. Many locations will also feature dedicated VIP-style areas, providing special access to patios, rooftops, and premium viewing spaces.
