O'Neill St. Patrick's Day

The giant green shamrock in the middle of downtown O'Neill proudly declares you're in Nebraska's Irish country.

The painting of the shamrock became an annual event, putting O'Neill on the map as the place to celebrate St. Patrick's Day. Beer flows. The parade crosses over the shamrock. Irish dancers stop to perform on it. O'Neill hosts a weeklong celebration, culminating the weekend before the holiday.

While celebrating the St. Patrick's holiday may be the driving force behind a visit to O'Neill, checking out the city's Irish history, highlighted by a downtown walk of fame and a statue of the city's founder, is fodder for a day trip or long weekend visit to the northern Nebraska community.
