St. Patrick’s Day is upon us, which means Central Ohio is about to be overrun with green beer, bagpipes, and people claiming to be just a little bit Irish for the weekend.
Whether you’re looking for an all-day outdoor festival, a raucous bar crawl, a shamrock-filled scavenger hunt, or an authentic Irish music and dance performance, there’s no shortage of ways to celebrate. From Dublin to downtown Columbus, here’s your guide to the best St. Patrick’s Day events happening this weekend — so you can plan accordingly (and maybe pace yourself on the Guinness).
