Those Lucky Irish Sure Do Know How To Party!

The best of Irish holidays is fast approaching, and making plans early is key to having a successful St. Patrick’s Day. Hopefully you didn’t give up having fun for Lent! There are several options in the Milwaukee area for an excellent St. Patty’s Day, and you’ll find that your best options always include a Milwaukee car service or limousine! #1 – ShamROCK in Westown Every year, all of Milwaukee gathers together for a kick-off party for the St. Patrick’s Day Parade. It’s traditionally hosted by Miller Time Pub on West Wisconsin Avenue. It’s a great time for everyone, and it’s a great time to start your complete St. Patrick’s Day week of events. #2 – 47th Annual St. Patrick’s Day Parade This year, the parade will take place on March 9th, and will officially kick off the entire St. Patrick’s Day week-long celebration. Everyone is Irish while watching the floats roll down the streets of Milwaukee. There’s live music, fun for the kids, candy, local celebrities, and plenty of food for everyone. It is the biggest event of the year for the whole family. #3 – Shamrock Club’s Post Parade Party After the parade, you simply cannot miss the after party! It’s hosted by the Irish Cultural and Heritage Center, located on West Wisconsin Avenue. It is described as a huge party with four stages for your entertainment. It’s an all afternoon event, so come hungry, thirsty, and ready for a good time! #4 – Blary 5K Run/Walk It’s a sea of green in a world of white snow while you’re running or walking, down the streets of downtown Milwaukee. It’s a fan favorite of runners, and all the proceeds benefit the preservation and educational activities of the Wauwatosa Historical Society. #5 – Sunday Morning Church You can bet the Cathedrals will be full that morning, as the Catholic population, and visitors, flock to worship St. Patrick, the patron saint of Ireland. St. Patrick’s Day is commonly referred as the Feast of Saint Patrick, so it is fitting that you have the opportunity to have your spirit fed during the holiday. #6 – The Milwaukee Pub Crawl Sunday, March 17, is a multi-part day of amazing fun. Once you’ve experienced the religious aspect, it’s time to experience the other important aspect of the holiday: the pubs. You had better believe all the pubs in Milwaukee have been planning for months for the day, and they are all ready to serve! Mo’s Irish Pub on West Wisconsin Avenue will feature a day long affair of drink specials, green beer, and food that will keep your mouth watering.
  • County Clare on North Astor Street will house a full day of fun in one bar. There are delicious menu options, a great beer selection, and outstanding events planned throughout the day.
  • Gaelic Storm will bring in St. Patrick’s Day with a huge party featuring one of the biggest Celtic bands. The event is in the Riverside Theatre.
  • The Tossers will host a St. Patrick’s Day party with Chicago Irish punks. It’s happening at the Turner Hall Ballroom located on North 4th Street.
During all of the fun that can be had on St. Patrick’s Day, it is very important to stay safe. Consider booking a limousine service to get you from place to place, and safely back home. If you decide to book a limousine or SUV for the night, you can also ensure that your friends get home safely. Beyond planning your St. Patrick’s Day adventures, safety should be first priority. There’s nothing worse than precious life being taken by irresponsible drivers, so make sure that never happens to you or the ones you love.
