St.Patrick’s Day is when we pay tribute to the Irish culture. We attend festivals and parades, learn to dance, and drink Irish beers. But St.Patrick’s Day in Tulsa is much more than green beer and leprechauns. In Tulsa, we celebrate St. Patrick’s Day to honor the Irish Culture in a fun way for everyone. Of course, there are still pubs clad in green, and leprechauns run amok, so you can celebrate in any way you’d like.
Blue Dome St. Patrick’s Day Celebration | March 17 – 16
Don’t forget to wear something green as you head out for St.Patrick’s Day in Tulsa. You wouldn’t want to come home with pinch marks on your arm. The Blue Dome Entertainment District turns green during St.Patrick’s Day in Tulsa. All weekend long, people come out in droves to celebrate. One of the most popular things to do is to crawl to the Irish pubs a few blocks from each other.
Arnie’s Bar, Woody’s Corner Bar, and James E. McNellie’s Public House. Each pub will serve up its own Irish beers and foods, and you can try them all. There will even be a semi-truck with 30 taps and over 100 kegs of beer for you to find and enjoy.
