Which street hosts Hot Springs, Arkansas's very short Saint Patrick's Day parade?

Hot Springs, Arkansas's famously short Saint Patrick's Day parade takes place on Bridge Street.

The route is only about 98 feet long, which is why organizers promote it as the World's Shortest St. Patrick's Day Parade. Bridge Street is a historic downtown thoroughfare associated with Hot Springs' unusual claim to fame as one of the shortest streets used regularly by traffic and pedestrians.

The parade began in 2003 as a small local idea and grew into a major tourism event. Although the procession is tiny by distance, the celebration around it is much larger, with music, performers, celebrities, food, and large crowds. Organizers even measure the route as part of the festivities.

The record is sometimes disputed because other places promote shorter parades or shorter routes. Hot Springs' claim is specifically tied to holding the event on Saint Patrick's Day and to its established 98-foot Bridge Street route. Central Avenue and Bathhouse Row are prominent Hot Springs locations, but neither hosts this famously short parade.
