From Boulder to Denver and all points in between, the Front Range plans to “Go Green” with dozens of St. Patrick’s Day festivities. With St. Patty’s falling on Tuesday, March 17, 2026, expect plenty of parties, pub crawls and festivals the weekend before and the 17th.
While we have a post for Denver’s St. Patrick’s Day Parade (which is on Saturday, March 14, 2026), here are other FREE and low-cost ways to “get your Irish on” across the Front Range. You’ll find plenty of Irish music, step dancers, pipe bands and more. If you know of any we missed, send details to Laura@milehighonthecheap.com.
