Parasol’s sets the stage for St. Patrick’s Day celebrations starting the weekend before the actual holiday, transforming the area into a vibrant hub of festivities. Located at the corner of 3rd and Constance Street, this venue becomes the heart of joy with excellent music, an abundance of green beer, delicious food, and convenient access to the parade route. The streets become a sea of green as people dressed in festive attire dance to Irish tunes, mingling and sharing pints of green-colored drinks, encapsulating the lively spirit of the holiday.
The tradition of celebrating St. Patrick’s Day in this locale harks back to the 1950s, originating from what is now known as Tracey’s Original Irish Channel Bar at the intersection of Third and Magazine Streets. This event not only honors a long-standing tradition of St. Patrick’s Day but also symbolizes the unity and heritage of the Irish Channel, a neighborhood known for its riverfront industry and the Irish families that reside there.
Parasol’s, a significant landmark in the heart of New Orleans’ Irish Channel, is famous not just for its prime location a block away from the antique shops of Magazine Street and a scenic trolley ride from the historic French Quarter, but also for its culinary offerings. Renowned for serving the best Roast Beef Po-Boys east of the Mississippi River along with classic New Orleans dishes and fried seafood, Parasol’s has earned a reputation as a central gathering spot for locals and visitors alike, especially during its legendary St. Patrick’s Day parties.
