Wearing of the Green - St. Patrick's Day in Reno

We have a nice range of activities available around Reno for St. Patrick's Day revelry. There is always the traditional drinking of the green beer and ale, but those who seek other activities will not be disappointed. You can enjoy Irish music, armchair travel to Ireland at Sundance Books, or head up to Virginia City for the unusual St. Patrick's Day Parade & Mountain Oyster Cook-Off. Sadly, the Top O' The Mornin' Fun Run/Walk at Sparks Marina Park has been cancelled due to budget cuts.

There is no lack of choice in the Irish pub department around Reno / Tahoe. Some are pretty much just that - pubs. Others serve food with their libations, and still others put on the full Irish monty of food, drink, music, dance, and other entertainment. If you need a hand locating a nearby establishment, check out our Top Reno, Sparks, and Lake Tahoe Irish Pubs, then give your friendly local pub a call to find out what's going on for St. Patrick's Day.

Free Bus Rides on St. Patrick's Day - Make it a safe St. Patrick's Day and ride the bus if your celebrating involves enjoying green beer and Irish whiskey. RTC RIDE will be offering free fares over its Truckee Meadows route system on March 17, from 6 p.m. to midnight.
