The bay is going green this weekend, and we've got your lineup of can't-miss things to do happening in your city. It's the only time of year when it's acceptable to drink bright green beer and pinch people you don't know (we don't really recommend doing that), so take advantage of the Irish spirit and raise a pint! St. Pete and Clearwater are going to be bubbling with pub crawls and Irish-inspired shenanigans where everyone can channel their inner-imbibing leprechaun. With temperatures in the 80s, a good ole' beach day would be a welcome sanctuary to include in your plans. The RumFish Beach Resort is St. Pete Beach's newest resort to enjoy a coastal staycation and chill-fest. May we suggest grabbing your honey and getting a room with a brand new private balcony? Hubba hubba!
Whether you're looking to drink enough green beer to go green from the inside out, or see a concert and enjoy the city, we've got something perfect on the list for you and your crew to have the best weekend ever! Make sure you check out our list of the best local Irish joints where you can have a drink and some banging bites to celebrate St. Patty's!
