Saturday's Rooftop View for the 42nd Annual Parade

Skip the curb-side elbowing and take your St. Paddy’s experience to new heights—literally. The 42nd Annual Raleigh St. Patrick’s Day Parade is set to paint Hillsborough Street green on Saturday, March 14, 2026. While the crowds scramble for a sliver of sidewalk at 10 a.m., the real pros will be stationed at Taverna Agora’s award-winning rooftop. Doors open at 7:30 a.m. sharp, giving you plenty of time to claim a prime vantage point and fuel up on a Greek-inspired breakfast before the first pipe band marches by.

Your ticket secures a spot on the roof and includes your choice of a breakfast entree—like the Baklava Sticky Buns or a Breakfast Gyro—plus unlimited coffee and a hot chocolate bar for the kiddos. For the adults looking to add a little “luck” to their morning, Mimosas, Bloody Marys, and boozy coffees are ready for purchase. It’s the ultimate “work smarter, not harder” move for parade day.

📍 Taverna Agora – 326 Hillsborough St, Raleigh, NC 27603
📅 Saturday, March 14, 2026 | Doors open 7:30 a.m. (Parade starts at 10 a.m.)

Baklava for breakfast and a front-row seat to the bagpipes? That’s what we call a Raleigh Greek-Irish fusion success story.
