Let the luck of the Irish be yours this year and enjoy a fun, family-friendly St. Patrick's Day on March 17! Although the ever popular Roanoke St. Patrick's Day Parade and Shamrock Festival were canceled for 2021, you can still find your pot of gold close to home!
Check out the Lynchburg Macaroni Kid event calendar any time for all of the best local events. You'll find indoor and outdoor fun guides and much more on our website.
Start March off right with the Lynchburg Parks and Recreation St. Patrick's Scavenger Hunt! This is an active scavenger hunt and requires some walking and exploring. Each week, they will post clues on their Facebook page to the park or trail you'll need to visit to find the answers to the trivia questionnaire. Download the questions you'll need to answer before you go, because it's hard to remember after you get home! (Ask me how I know!) Don't forget to answer the questions on the trivia questionnaire online after you've visited. Good Luck!
