St. Patrick’s Day
March 17 | All Over Austin
St. Patrick’s Day takes over the city, well sort of. The holiday is always during SXSW so it’s hard to navigate but that doesn’t mean there aren’t plenty of great ways to celebrate while avoiding SXSW. There are plenty of Irish pubs and pub crawls happening unrelated to the festival. Furthermore, the official Austin St. Patrick’s Day festival is set to return in 2024 so stay tuned.
