Get your weekend started early with a slew of St. Patrick’s Day events, before hitting up Gallery Night tonight. Here are few of the largest celebrations in Pensacola.
2023 “Go Irish on the Island” St. Paddy’s Day Pub Crawl
The Pensacola Beach Chamber of Commerce invites one and all to “Go Irish on the Island” for the annual St. Paddy’s Day Pub Crawl on March 17. The annual pub crawl along Pensacola Beach features 12 participating beach bars, restaurants and hotels serving up Irish drink specials, music, mayhem and mischief.
The fun begins at 9 a.m. at Crabs We Got ‘Em where a free breakfast will be served from 9 to 10 a.m. with the purchase of a $10 drink. Each stop afterward will last 45 minutes. Revelers can jump in and join the fun mid-day at any of the locations and times listed below:

The St. Paddy’s Day Pub Crawl t-shirts are $18 each and will be available at each participating location and the Visitor Information Center on Pensacola Beach.
While it’s a celebration of Irish culture and traditions, the St. Paddy’s Day Pub Crawl — in memory of event founder John Patrick “Paddy” Blake — is a fundraising event for the Pensacola Beach Chamber of Commerce, a non-profit corporation. The Chamber will donate a portion of the t-shirt proceeds to Covenant Care in his name.
