Saint Patrick’s Day things to do in Parker CO

March 10, 2021 By Chrissy

Town of Parker offering St. Patrick’s Day Activities

During the 2020 holiday season, Parker residents met Buddy the Elf and participated in our Elf Around Town Scavenger Hunt. The Town of Parker is excited to share with the community that Buddy’s leprechaun friend, Lucky, will be making his inaugural appearance in Parker around St. Patrick’s Day!

EVENT UPDATE: Lucky the Leprechaun isn’t as fond of the snow as Buddy the Elf is so with the weather forecast showing a big storm possible, Lucky has made some changes to his schedule and will now be in town on the actual holiday of St. Patrick’s Day Wednesday, March 17 from noon to 4 p.m. instead of this coming Saturday, March 13 like originally planned.  Don’t worry – he is still planning to be around town on Saturday, March 20 as well!  Lucky will also postpone the hiding of his shamrocks until St. Patrick’s Day so those shamrocks aren’t buried by snow!  The community can now “Hunt for Shamrocks” Wednesday, March 17 through Saturday, March 20.

Lucky will be strolling (and hiding) around Mainstreet on St. Patrick’s Day (March 17) and the Saturday after (March 20) from noon to 4 p.m. While Lucky is in Town, he will also be hiding 20 shamrocks around the community.Xfinity Shamrock

Lucky, The Town of Parker and Xfinity invite the community to a game of “Seek Out the Shamrocks” from March 17 through March 20. Can you spot Lucky and find some shamrocks? If so, you might win a prize! If you spot Lucky or any of his shamrocks hidden around town, take a photo and email Special Events Coordinator Brooke Spain or post the photo on the Town’s Facebook page (@TownofParkerCO) to be entered into a drawing for a prize basket. 

Community members are eligible to enter multiple times as long as they spot Lucky the Leprechaun on different days and seek out multiple shamrocks!

For more information, email Brooke Spain or call 303.805.3253.

Irish Recipes

Shepherds Pie

An Irish friend of mine (Lorna O’Brien) let it be known that Corned Beef and Cabbage is NOT a traditional Irish meal, but Shepherds Pie is.
