From the Wichita Falls Downtown Development Press Release:

Wichita Falls, Texas – Join Downtown Wichita Falls Development for the Saint Patrick’s Day Street Festival. The event will be Saturday, March 11. This annual celebration promotes downtown, community, and Irish culture.

This year Downtown Wichita Falls Development is excited to present Grammy nominated and Wichita Falls’ very own Bowling for Soup! Formed in 1994 in Wichita Falls, the quartet has toured internationally, has world wide record sales in the hundreds of thousands, and we are so excited they are returning to Wichita Falls for this year’s event!



Supporting acts for Bowling for Soup will be bigloo, No Limits, and kicking off the event in true Irish spirit is Martin Byrnes! Coming in from Ireland for the festival, Byrnes will perform a mixture of Irish ballads and traditional music.



Inside the Iron Horse Pub will be a St. Patricks Day Festival favorite, A.A. Bottom! A.A. Bottom is a hard rocking, well versed band that plays the Texas bluesy southern and classic rock with style and class. It’s Texas rock and roll at it’s best. Joining them will be Erick Willis, a rising musician from Henrietta, Texas. Taking cues from the music he was raised on Erick is blending soulful melodic lyrics with the deep groove of roots-rock. Erick is bringing lots of soul to the mix along with undeniably Texas inspired lyrics.

The celebration unfolds with traditional music, dancing, children’s area, food truck vendors and much more. Gates open at 3:00 p.m. and will last until 11:00 p.m. on the corner of 8th and Indiana in historic downtown Wichita Falls
