"St. Patrick's Day falls on a Tuesday this year, which means many pubs are starting their celebrations a few days early, hoping to lure revelers who might not be able to take off on the 17th - or, worse, might have to work on the 18th. From a huge party at the Wharf to pint-pouring contests to concerts in cozy pubs, there's something for everyone, Irish or not."
"Over a dozen local game designers will debut or show off their games at separate tables, where attendees can try their hand at early-stage prototypes, finished products and anything in between. Grab a Dacha beer while you peruse."
"Murphy's, a landmark in Old Town Alexandria, kicks off a full weekend of celebrations Thursday at 7 p.m. with a Perfect Pint contest, seeing who can pour the most aesthetically pleasing pint of Guinness, followed by singer Pat Garvey. Friday starts with Irish dancers at happy hour, then offers live music all night."
St. Patrick's Day falls on Tuesday this year, prompting pubs to start celebrations early to accommodate those unable to take time off. The D.C. area offers diverse entertainment options including massive parties at the Wharf, pint-pouring contests, and intimate pub concerts. Beyond St. Patrick's festivities, the weekend features Awesome Con with celebrity guests and cosplay, the Academy Awards with viewing parties and trivia, a colorful Holi celebration at Union Market, Pi Day discounts on pies, and free family-friendly festivals at the National Portrait Gallery and National Building Museum. Specific events include an Indie Board Game Showcase at Dacha Navy Yard featuring local designers and the Perfect Pint contest at Murphy's Grand Irish Pub in Old Town Alexandria.
