LIST: St. Patrick's Day events in the Austin area

If you're looking for somewhere you can grab a cold green beer or celebrate Irish heritage, you're in luck! There are plenty of options in the Austin area.

AUSTIN, Texas — Friday is St. Patrick's Day, a celebration of Irish heritage that honors Saint Patrick, the patron saint of Ireland.

The holiday is typically associated with wearing green, shamrocks and drinking pints of beer – frequently Guinness, often green – or shots of Irish whiskey. Traditional Irish foods like corned beef and cabbage are also staples of St. Patrick's Day.
