The World’s Only Irish Flag Avenue

70 FLAGS • 70 YEARS • ONE REMARKABLE LITTLE TOWN

 

The Shrine of St. Patrick will celebrate its 70th anniversary on St. Patrick’s Day—Wednesday, March 17, 2027. Irish Flag Avenue invites the community to mark the milestone through Irish heritage, local stories, faith, and family.

70 Flags for 70 Years

Seventy original flags will turn the road through St. Patrick into a colorful avenue of Irish and Celtic heritage.

A Little Town With a Big Irish Story

Faith, heritage, and one-of-a-kind local tradition meet in northeast Missouri — a tiny town with a big Irish identity, seventy years of devotion at the Shrine of St. Patrick, and Clancy Irish Road Bowling.

70 Flags Could Make Guinness World Records History!

If the community reaches 70 flags, St. Patrick may be able to pursue Guinness World Records recognition for the most Irish flags displayed along a street for St. Patrick’s Day. Reaching the goal is the first step; any official record attempt would still require review and verification by Guinness World Records. Help us fill the avenue and make March 17, 2027 a milestone to remember.
