El Paso is set to turn green with excitement as it hosts a series of St. Patrick's Day events from March 13 to 17, 2025. Embracing both culture and community spirit, these celebrations bring together a mix of partying and family-friendly fun.

Get Ready to Hit the Bars and Streets

One of the major highlights is the Official Lucky's St. Patrick's Day Bar Crawl on March 15. Starting with check-in at 4 PM, participants can make the rounds to various bars without needing to pay cover charges. Attendees will enjoy drinks and shots included with the crawl, along with after-party access and exclusive drink specials. Adding to the festive spirit, party-goers receive a stadium cup and a bottle opener on a lanyard, perfect for collecting those special mementos. With professional photographers capturing the night, you'll have lasting memories of a night out organized by the enthusiastic Billy Roach.

El Paso's famous streetcars are joining the festivities as well. On March 15, families can enjoy the Tales on the Rails Read & Ride at 11 AM—ideal for those wanting to involve the little ones in celebrating Irish culture. As evening falls, DJ Electric Dream turns up the party on wheels with music starting at 6 PM, and you can hop on board for free at any of the 27 stops.

More Than Just Parties: Community and Culture

If you're a fan of live music and cheap drinks, don't miss the festivities at Rockhouse Dive Bar Kitchen, where their 10th annual celebration kicks off on March 15. Rock out with live performances and sip on $1 green beers that add a touch of the Irish to your evening.

St. Patrick's Day wouldn't be the same without a street celebration. On March 17, head downtown for the Downtown Block Party, hosted by Mad House at The Reagan venue. With multiple bars, lively atmospheres, and the promise of a good time, it's the perfect place to mingle and make new friends.

For those who want to contribute to a good cause, Judge Jimmy Lynn’s annual breakfast fundraiser is happening on March 17, marking its 26th year. This event supports St. Francis de Sales School, complete with an authentic Irish breakfast and live tunes to start your day right.
