St. Patrick’s Day is the holiday of beers and Bailey’s, but there’s so much more to the fun than just the booze. In Pittsburgh, many restaurants and organizations take St. Patrick’s Day as a chance to bring the community together in cheerful spirit. Grab the whole family too because some of these events even have kid-specific activities. We recommend dressing from head-to-toe in green just to ensure there are no unwarranted pinches.
