Countdown to St. Patrick’s Day 2020

Update:

Due to the uncertainty of the coronavirus, events may be postponed or canceled.  It is always a good idea to check with the venues or organizers before heading out.

As of March 13, programming at indoor venues with consistent seating capacity over 500 are canceled. Establishments with a capacity of 500 people or less, including concert venues, theaters, bars & restaurants are required to maintain an occupancy level at or below 50% of their legal capacity.

St. Patrick’s Day is so huge in New York City that it takes a whole month to celebrate it, so March is St. Patrick’s month in New York. As our friend Brendan Dunphey says, “St. Patrick’s Day is not just a day, it is a season.”

We spend 11 months of the year trying to refute the stereotype that MurphGuide is just an Irish bars website, and one month providing the best St. Patrick’s Day NYC listings anywhere. So in our continuous efforts to “connect the fun to the fun people”, we present our annual list of how to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day Month in NYC:
