St. Patrick's Day Pub Crawl & Scavenger Hunt
Coming March 14th, 2026
Downtown Fort Smith is preparing for one of its biggest celebrations of the year as the Fort Smith St. Patrick’s Day Pub Crawl returns on Saturday, March 14, bringing music, entertainment, and community pride to Garrison Avenue.
Hosted by the Fort Smith Downtown Business Association in partnership with The RiverBoy Foundation, this year’s event promises to be the largest and most exciting pub crawl yet, combining live entertainment, local culture, and a celebration of Fort Smith’s hometown talent.
A highlight of this year’s event is the limited-edition collector cups designed by Fort Smith natives and NBA players Isaiah Joe and Jaylin Williams. Both athletes grew up in Fort Smith before rising to national prominence in the NBA, and their participation brings a unique hometown connection to the celebration.
Throughout the evening, the Fort Smith Fire Department Pipe and Drum Corps will march along Garrison Avenue, stopping in bars and venues for surprise performances that capture the festive spirit of St. Patrick’s Day.
