🍀 Providence turns green this time of year… and here’s where to celebrate.
From the parade to live music to your favorite Irish pubs, there’s no shortage of ways to enjoy St. Patrick’s Day in the city. Here are a few must-hit spots and events around downtown Providence:
☘️ Don’t miss the Providence St. Patrick’s Day Parade
The city’s beloved tradition marches through Smith Hill and ends at the Rhode Island State House. Expect pipes and drums, Irish dancers, community groups, and plenty of green all along the route. 
🍻 Grab a pint at Providence’s Irish pubs
From cozy neighborhood bars to lively downtown spots, it’s the perfect day to raise a glass with friends and soak in the festive energy.
🎶 Check out live music and celebrations
Places like Moonshine Alley host Irish bands, step dancers, and St. Paddy’s food and drink specials throughout the week. 
🍺 Keep the party going with local events
At Trinity Brewhouse, you’ll find Irish dancing, live pipes and drums, and plenty of festive brews to celebrate the holiday. 
💚 Whether you’re cheering at the parade, hopping between Irish bars, or catching live music downtown — Providence is the place to be this St. Patrick’s Day.
Tag us in your celebrations and show us how you’re celebrating in the city! 🍀
