Welcome to the home of Listowel’s Paddyfest Since 1977
The Largest St.Patrick’s Day Festival in North America
We can’t wait to see you from March 8th to March 17th, 2024!
Listowel’s Unofficially Official Homecoming!
Traditionally, Paddyfest has been “Listowel’s Homecoming” where experienced Paddyfest goers and new-to-town Listowelites (or Listonians, whichever you prefer!) unite for a good time. As Trooper puts it “ We’re here for a good time, not a long time, so have a good time, the sun can’t shine every day!”
Activities span two weekends and one full week during the month of March, with lots of great events happening for families, friends and individuals alike. Under the Paddyfest banner, other community groups join the Listowel Kinsmen and organize their own events to help raise funds for the betterment our community.
We welcome both the seasonal Paddyfest attendee and those new to the community to engage in our community of North Perth by getting involved with Paddyfest. We look forward to showing you what this year’s Paddyfest has to offer and are ready to knock those shamrock shoes right off your feet!
