Between social distancing guidelines and mask requirements, St. Patrickâs Day will look different this year as the COVID-19 pandemic continues into the spring, however festivities will still take place around Campus Corner and downtown Norman.
While COVID-19 cases are declining, business and city leaders urge mindfulness to safety precautions to keep everyone safe as they celebrate St. Patrickâs Day. The City of Norman recently released a reminder ahead of the holiday, which traditionally brings many OU students and residents to Campus Corner.
