Hot Spring is home to the First Ever World's 5th Annual Shortest St. Patrick's Day Parade. The title is almost longer than the parade, which is held the entire length (90 feet) of Bridge St. in downtown Hot Springs. The event is great fun, rowdy, and Mike Rowe (of the TV fame "dirtiest jobs") is Grand Marshall.

"May God grant you always...
A sunbeam to warm you,
A moonbeam to charm you,
A sheltering Angel so nothing can harm you.
Laughter to cheer you.
Faithful friends near you.
And whenever you pray,
Heaven to hear you."
