Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about the St. Patrick’s Day pub crawl.
When is the Portland Maine St. Patrick's Day Bar Crawl?
Saturday, March 13, 2027, from 1:00 PM to 8:00 PM. This is the Maine listing rather than the Oregon one, taking the Saturday before the holiday. Check the page before you plan around it.
Which part of Portland Maine does the route use on St. Patrick's?
The Old Port again, though the Irish pubs among those blocks carry more of the day than they would in any other month. Your confirmed venue arrives with the ticket.
Does Maine have Irish roots?
Deep ones. Portland took substantial Irish immigration in the nineteenth century, and the city's older pubs and parish history still reflect that clearly. Check the page before you plan around it.
How cold is Portland Maine in mid March?
Cold, usually in the 30s during the afternoon with snow still on the ground. March in coastal Maine is winter, and the wind off the harbour makes it worse.
Are the Old Port cobblestones a problem in March?
They can be. Ice between the granite blocks is a genuine hazard at this time of year, so choose footwear with grip rather than anything smooth-soled. Worth confirming before you commit to the evening.
Is the Old Port walkable that afternoon?
Extremely. The participating bars sit within a couple of minutes of each other, which is exactly what a seven-hour daytime crawl in Maine March weather needs. The short distances are what make the whole route work.
Does the 8 PM finish end the day on St. Patrick's?
The scheduled route does, and Portland's official after-party access is included, so the evening continues at the designated venue rather than ending while the Old Port is still busy.
Should I arrange a ride home in Portland Maine on St. Patrick's?
Yes. Rideshare supply here is thinner than in a larger metro, demand peaks hard on this Saturday, and March roads out of the city are frequently icy.
