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 2023, 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.

New events include the inaugural Chili Cook-off, hosted by FadedJoes Barbershop, St. Paddy’s Trivia Night with Heppner Daycare, and Kid’s Crafts & Bouncin’ Bins, hosted by Sage Garden Preschool.
