The Molly Ringwalds will present a free concert following the St. Patrick’s Day Parade in March 2025.
Hot Springs’ favorite band, The Molly Ringwalds, will return March 17, 2025, to rock the crowd immediately following the First Ever 22nd Annual World’s Shortest St. Patrick’s Day Parade on 98-foot Bridge Street.
“Fans love the Molly Ringwalds,” Visit Hot Springs CEO and parade founder Steve Arrison said. “They’ve kept crowds rocking at the parade before, and they’ll do it again as soon as the parade ends on March 17. The concert is free and open to the public, and the Molly’s will deliver once again the good-time vibe that surrounds this great little parade.”
The band will join a stellar lineup of entertainers announced previously, including celebrity grand marshal actress Valerie Bertinelli, official parade starter hip-hop legend Flavor Flav, and the legendary band Grand Funk, which will perform a free public concert on March 16, the evening before the parade.
The parade annually attracts crowds of upwards of 30,000 people to watch an insanely zany collection of Irish Elvis impersonators, marching units, floats, dancers, and the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders, as well as other unique units that cover the 98-foot length of Bridge Street.
The Molly Ringwalds are making a career out of the music of the 1980s. A New Orleans band loved in Baton Rouge, the group specializes in the songs of such ’80s acts as Duran Duran, Boy George and Culture Club, Flock of Seagulls, David Bowie, and Adam Ant.
