Every St. Patrick’s Day, there’s always that couple. You know the ones. Head-to-toe green. Over-the-top outfits. No hesitation. No shame. Just full commitment to the theme and the moment. At Patty 2026, we’re finally giving those people the recognition they deserve.

Thanks to The Apothecary Shoppe, we’re on the hunt for the King & Queen of Green, and yes, this is absolutely a real crown-and-throne situation.

What Is the King & Queen of Green Contest?

What Is the King & Queen of Green Contest?

On Saturday, you will have the chance to show off your best St. Patrick’s Day green gear. That means outfits, accessories, face paint, beads, capes, crowns. If it’s green, it counts.

Each station will select two qualifiers (one King, one Queen). Those qualifiers will move on to the live, on-stage showdown at Patty, where things get loud, competitive, and very fun.

The final decision?
Let’s just say the crowd will have a say.

***We'll be selecting a few contestants who dress up and show up for Party in the Parc, so be sure to lay out your best green attire for the occasion.***
