Almost 3 full weeks of non-stop St. Patrick’s day events in your own backyard!
A town staple since 1977, Paddyfest is the coming together of North Perth locals to celebrate St.Patrick’s Day. Spanning one week and two weekends, and always during the elementary and high school March Break, we host entertaining and lively events for all ages and interests, from music and dancing to food and games.
All funds from Paddyfest directly impact local community projects, nonprofits, and charities, so it’s the perfect event to come together, and have fun while doing good for the community!
We are grateful for our local sponsors who put their time and money into helping us make Paddyfest a success year after year. All money raised goes to helping local youth sports, nonprofits, community betterment projects, and charities.
Our 2026 Sponsors
Each year, Paddyfest runs on volunteers' time and the generosity of our sponsors. Without them, we couldn’t run Paddyfest on the scale we do. We recommend using all the community-focused sponsors listed here—they are Mr. Paddy approved!
