37 Ways to Celebrate a Mile High St. Patrick’s Day in 2026

by Dawn Green

St. Patrick’s Day is Tuesday, March 17, 2026, so expect most of the big events the weekend before and then parties again on the 17th.

Quick personal note from me: I worked March 17th every year for 10+ years at Hennessey’s Tavern, and it’s honestly one of my favorite days of the year. Denver knows how to do St. Paddy’s right.

Below is a roundup of parades, festivals, live music, breweries, pubs, and bar crawls from Denver to Boulder and all points in between. I included links so you can click straight to the event details and tickets.
