St. Patrick's Day Austin 2019

The best place to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day in Central Texas! A celebration with a commitment to authentic Irish culture without a trove of leprechauns is available in Austin. It’s a day of fierce Irish tradition and fun with no green beer. Irish import beers on tap will be the color that Nature and Arthur Guinness intended. Think less “twee” and more “trad.”

Headlining Irish artists include traditional music direct from Ireland like HIGHTIME and REALTA as well as local artists like THE SILVER THISTLE PIPES and DRUMS, the champion Irish dancers of the INISHFREE IRISH DANCE and more. The event website has the full schedule happening on two stages, one indoor and one tented outdoor stage (safe from any potential Irish weather). Families with children are welcome. Kids can enjoy all the music and dance along with their parents and sign up for Irish dance lessons with the
Inishfree Austin Irish Dance school.  The annual Wearin O’ The Green will have plenty of free parking available in the parking field of Pioneer Farms. There will be plenty of the Irish American Corn Beef and Cabbage. Be sure to try a bite for good luck or, if you’d like, try the excellent fish and chips and wash it all down with a cold Irish import like Guinness, Smithwicks or Harp.
