St. Patrick’s Day in Tokyo is celebrated every year with the annual St. Patrick’s Day Parade that takes place along Omotesandō Avenue.
What happens?
The first part of the festival is an Irish cultural festival in Yoyogi Park’s Event Square on the weekend. It will include traditional music and, of course, Irish dancing performances, plus a gourmet booth where you can try Irish whisky and more. The parade will be on Sunday.

The parade starts at 1 p.m. on Sunday, March 16 and will come down the hill from Omotesandō towards Meiji-jingumae Station on the Gyre/Dior Building side of the road and then does a U-turn at the Omotesandō/Meiji Dōri intersection before heading back up the Omotesandō Hills side of the same street.
