Watch the River Walk Go Green for St. Paddy’s! Join us as we kick off the St. Patrick’s celebrations in the most spectacular way by turning the San Antonio River Walk bright green!

With 25 gallons of eco-friendly dye, our beautiful river transforms into a dazzling shade of emerald, mirroring the legendary River Shannon in Ireland. Be part of the magic, soak in the festive vibes, and celebrate St. Paddy’s in true San Antonio style!
