Vacation in Gulf Shores for St. Patrick's Day

When you think of St. Patrick's Day, your mind might immediately jump to the deep green hue of the Chicago River, or the jovial festivities at the parade in Boston or New York. But the good news is you don't need to freeze in order to have a great St. Paddy's Day. Gulf Shores not only offers warmer, comfortable, and ideal weather for the party atmosphere, but also hosts its own variety of festivities!

Rise & Shine for Papa Rocco's Pub Crawl
You can start off your day at Papa Rocco's St. Paddy's Day Party and Pub crawl at 9:30 a.m. on St. Patrick's Day at Papa Rocco's in Gulf Shores. The giant green pub crawl is a leisurely stroll to various downtown watering holes, accompanied by the grand marshal and financier, Bill McGinnes, and over 1,000 participants, including the Champion Windsor Canadian Police Pipe Band. Free and open to the public, the annual event is always a hit, and you'll create memories to last you a lifetime. The crawl will end around 2 p.m., which leaves you with plenty of time to check out other events going on.
