St. Patrick’s Day 2026 in Portland: Food, Drink, and More

St. Patrick’s Day is on a Tuesday this year, still March 17. And why that date? It’s the traditional death date of Saint Patrick (c. 385 to c. 461), the primary patron saint of Ireland. Here in Portland, there are plenty of celebrations on St. Paddy’s Day, as well as those taking place on the weekend prior. And along with the pipers, music, and dancers, there’s plenty of great Irish food and drink to be had. Here’s what’s up in Portland for St. Patrick’s Day 2026.
