☘️🍺 Lace Up (or Not!) for the 5th Annual World’s Shortest St. Patrick’s Zero K! 🍺☘️

Get ready to sprint, stroll, or saunter your way into St. Patrick’s Day weekend fun! The 5th Annual World’s Shortest St. Patrick’s Zero K is back and better than ever, kicking off the festivities leading up to the legendary 23rd Annual World’s Shortest St. Patrick’s Day Parade® in downtown Hot Springs National Park, Arkansas!

🏃‍♂️ What’s the Deal? 🏃‍♀️
This “race” (if you can call it that) covers a whopping 299 feet on Historic Bridge Street—the world’s shortest street in everyday use. You’ll start at one end and finish gloriously at O’Kelley’s Pub, the world’s biggest inflatable Irish pop-up pub. Yes, it’s a thing. Yes, it’s awesome.

🎶 Bonus Fun!
The party doesn’t stop at the finish line. Stick around for 23rd Annual World’s Shortest St. Patrick’s Day Parade.  Pre-Parade festivities begin at 5:30pm.
