St. Patrick’s Day Ocean City Style is a Fantastic Extended Weekend
Ocean City, Maryland’s 41st, St. Partrick’s Day Parade is Saturday, March, 14, 12 noon. The parade starts at 60th street and ends at 45 St. But St. Partrick’s Day in Ocean City, MD is not just an amazing parade of people in green or a mass of marching leprechauns, it is an extended weekend of fun and activities! St. Patrick’s Day Ocean City Style has a 5k run, specials, live music, and the official beer of the Irish, Guinness.
Irish heritage is celebrated all year round in Ocean City at Shenanigan’s Irish Pub, but on St. Patrick’s Day the pub brings Irish heritage by way of music, food, & drink to the forefront. Shenanigan’s will host events starting Wednesday, March 11. They have events continuing throughout the extended weekend including a 5k run. “Many runners tell us this kicks off their run season, and it just a nice way to start the whole weekend,” says Greg Shockley, owner of Shenanigan’s. “For us this is so exciting, because it is a great weekend to kick off our season.” Shenanigan’s Irish Pub is in its 32nd year of business this year, and is known as the “Irish place” in Ocean City, Maryland. Shenanigan’s will be going full out for the holiday, and not stopping until the actual holiday on Tuesday, March 17.
