Saint Patrick’s Day is right around the corner, and there’s no shortage of stuff to do in Philly! We’re listing the best events to celebrate the Irish way, from bar crawls to 5ks and everything in between!
With so many bar crawls happening in Philly over Saint Patrick’s Day weekend, we know we need to differentiate – no fear, they all have different starting locations, and offer different deals! There’s also no reason you can’t have multiple tickets – no matter which you choose, you’re certain to see waves of Philadelphians parading around in green! This bar crawl begins at Tabu, with tickets starting at $10. The first 400 check-ins get a signature Crawl with Us stadium cup, and every ticket holder gets drink specials, 1-2 free drinks, shots, and more!
For those not so into the bar crawl scene, this event is perfect for you. Travel to right outside of Philly to Scotland Run Golf Club for a night of dueling pianos, Irish songs, and seemingly endless pints of Guinness. Featuring an Irish buffet dinner, The Dueling Pianos (Tony T. and Wildman Joe) will be performing incredible Irish classics that anyone can enjoy. Prepare for clapping, singing, and plenty of authentic Irish fun! The Irish buffet dinner also includes Irish delicacies like corned beef, cabbage and Guinness Stew, and the chef’s display of desserts and more. You won’t want to miss this fabulous dinner and a show.
Time to shamrock and roll – this Saint Paddy’s bar crawl, beginning at GloBar Nightclub, is going to be a blast! Tickets to this bar crawl gains you free entry to select bars and clubs (including Woody’s, Pulse, Concourse, and more), costume contests, drink deals, dyed green beer, DJs, and plenty more. Dress in green or as a leprechaun for bonus points – you never know what the costume contest prize might be!
In the mood for a Saint Paddy’s day trip? Drive a little way to Wilmington Delaware (30 minutes outside of Philly) for a Saint Paddy’s Day celebration at Bellefonte Brewing Company! The Trauma Survivors Foundation and Bellefonte Brewing Co. Brandywine are the hosts to the celebration this year, and you won’t want to miss nonstop live music, great food, beer, prizes, giveaways, and of course, classic Irish fun. Tickets are free, but a small upgrade can get you a one-of-a-kind T-shirt, a pint of St. Patrick’s Revenge beer, a mini–Irish Car Bomb, and a heaping plate of classic Irish cuisine. For a phenomenal celebration, head to Bellefonte Brewing!
