Wee Bit O'Ireland Celebration - Heppner Chamber of Commerce

March 14 – 17, 2024

Since 1982, The Heppner Chamber of Commerce has organized the annual Wee Bit O’Ireland Celebration and has continued to be one of the largest St. Patrick’s Day festivals in the Pacific Northwest.

In 2024, the tradition continues with favorite events like the Cruz-in Car Show, the Big Green Parade, live Irish entertainment and games, Murray’s annual Beer and Wine Tasting, artisan markets, and more.

Join us for FREE live entertainment on Saturday night at the Gilliam & Bisbee Event Center with the award winning, Tiller’s Folly! Funded by Morrow County Unified Recreation District.

More events returning include the Wee Bit O’Chili Cook-off, Tattoo Parlor, hosted by FadedJoes Barbershop, St. Paddy’s Trivia Night with Heppner Daycare, and Kid’s Crafts & Bouncin’ Bins, hosted by Sage Garden Preschool.
