Atchison, Kansas, will host several St. Patrick’s Day weekend activities on Saturday.

The day will include a Shamrock Hunt on Commercial Street for kids from noon until 2 p.m. The St. Patrick’s Day Parade begins at 2 p.m. at 4th and Commercial. It travels to Kansas Avenue to 7th Street and will end at 7th and Commercial.

According to Atchison Chamber of Commerce President Jacque Pregont, that day, there will also be an opportunity to take a ride on the Irish History Trolley Tours.

“We hadn’t done it for several years, and we resurrected our Irish Trolley Tours, kind of a take-off on our regular historic tours that we do,” Pregont said. “Something different, talk about our Irish heritage that we have in this part of the country and it was so well received, people seemed to be really excited about it, so we’re happy to do that again this year.”

The tour includes historic homes and businesses built by the Irish and a tour of St. Patrick’s Church – the state’s oldest Catholic Church in continuous use.
