Happy Tuesday, Chicago! ICYMI: Chicago is celebrating St. Paddy’s Day on the 14th this year, not the 17th (who wants to get blackout drunk on a Tuesday?). If you haven’t already figured out the weekend, don’t fret, we’ve got you covered.

There’s only one way to do St. Patrick’s Day in Chicago, and it’s to go all out. Lucky Charms Crawl 2026 isn’t holding back, with 60+ participating bars across Lincoln Park, River North, West Loop, Wicker Park, and Wrigleyville. Secure your wristband for the biggest Paddy’s Day party in the city.*
