๐Ÿ’ก Insider Tips

01

Arrive early, especially at popular bars in Westport and Power & Light, as they fill up quickly.

02

Wear green to avoid getting pinched and to fully immerse yourself in the festive spirit.

03

Consider purchasing a bar crawl wristband for potential no-cover entry and drink specials at multiple venues.

04

Utilize ride-sharing services or public transportation, as parking can be challenging and traffic heavy on St. Patrick's Day.

Event details, cover charges, and parade routes are based on historical patterns and available 2026 announcements. Always verify directly with venues before attending. Cover charges and times may change.
