Will you be able to corral the luck of the Irish into finding a great way to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day this year? Having shed its religious origins, the March 17 holiday spawns festivities of all kinds, most having to do with prolific assimilation of sips and suds. Many bars around Baltimore will be running specials on the holiday itself (which falls on a Saturday this year), but some of the frolicking begins a whole week earlier. Check our our list below so you can best plan your Gaelic gaiety. Slainte!
