Thank your lucky leprechauns because St. Patrick's Day falls on a Saturday this year.
Celebrate the holiday by joining hundreds of others in Philly for one of the biggest St. Patrick's Day bar crawls: the Erin Express.
The all-day drinking event started more than 30 years ago and has since expanded to include multiple dates. This year, the Erin Express "warm up" will take place Saturday, March 10, and the official Erin Express will take place on Saturday, March 17.
No tickets or wristbands are required to join the bar crawl – totally free to attend. Just pay-as-you-go for beers at the participating bars, which are listed below.
To get from bar to bar, hop on one the event's free shuttle buses. The buses will run in a loop between noon and 6 p.m.
