Our real estate agents are always happy to welcome St. Patrick's Day back to the Richmond area! After being forced to cancel a lot of events in 2020 and 2021, we're excited to announce these great St. Patrick's Day celebrations in Richmond for 2022.

St. Patrick's Day falls on Thursday, March 17th. That means you can expect to see a lot of fun and excitement not only the weekend before St. Patrick's Day, but also the weekend after!

• Shamrock the Block - N Arthur Ashe Blvd, Richmond, VA 23220
  One of the biggest parties of the year returns to Richmond on Saturday, March 12. Shamrock the Block is not only a celebration of St. Patrick's Day but also marks the beginning of the outdoor festival season. The festivities take place along Arthur Ashe Boulevard, not far from these Richmond homes for sale. Now in its 17th year, Shamrock the Block draws upwards of 20,000 people and offers a fun-filled day of food, beer, and live music. Festivities take place from noon until 6 pm. 
  
  
• Richmond's Official St. Patrick's Bar Crawl - Richmond, VA 23220
  There's more to St. Patrick's Day than drinking green beer, but it also wouldn't be St. Patrick's Day without stopping at least a bar or two. Richmond's Official St. Patrick's Day Bar Crawl offers an opportunity to do just that, including stops at several beloved local watering holes where there will be some tempting drink specials and deals to suit the occasion. The crawl takes place the evening of Saturday, March 12, but the starting point and specials are usually announced in advance, so keep an eye on the Bar Crawl's official Facebook page. 
  
  
• Shamrock RunRVA 5k - 2410 Ownby Ln, Richmond, VA 23220
  You might want to take it a little easy at the bar crawl because the Shamrock RunRVA 5k takes place the next morning! Luckily, runners don't have to get underway until 10:30 am on Sunday, March 13, and many participants will surely be grateful for the relatively late start. The 5k run/walk follows a picturesque course through Richmond, starting and ending at Hardywood Park Craft Brewery. There will be a post-race after-party at the brewery, where prizes will be given out to top finishers. All participants will receive a shamrock pint glass, and a free pint to go with it. 
  
  
• Richmond Shamrock Stroll - 101-107 N 18th St, Richmond, VA 23223
  If by the weekend after St. Patrick's Day you're ready for yet another bar crawl, then the Richmond Shamrock Stroll is ready to deliver. Beginning at 1 pm on Saturday, March 19, the Shamrock Stroll includes amazing drink specials at some of the best bars in town. It all begins at Margarita's Cantina, home of Richmond's longest happy hour, and your wrist band will also grant quick entry and cheap drinks at some of the city's favorite pubs.
  
  
• Church Hill Irish Festival - E Broad St, Richmond, VA 23223
  Now in its 35th year, the annual Church Hill Irish Festival returns to Richmond on Saturday, March 26, and Sunday, March 27, 2022.
