How to Celebrate St. Patrick's Day in Downtown Appleton

Across the US, about 10.2% of Americans claim to be from Irish ancestry which counts for about 32.3 million US residents, according to a 2016 census. This number is about seven times the population of Ireland and the second largest ancestry group in Wisconsin. Let this be your excuse for getting out and celebrating St. Patrick’s Day this year!

There are a few fun events that will be happening downtown Appleton during the week of St. Patrick’s Day that you will have to check out, Irish descent or not.

The Appleton Charity Events will be putting on a St. Patty’s Scavenger Hunt Pub Crawl. This event will be taking place on March 14th from 3-8pm. On top of being a pub crawl around participating bars downtown Appleton, it will also be a scavenger hunt. Sign up ASAP if you want to receive the t-shirt that has the scavenger hunt on the back. You will need to purchase a ticket for this event and you can buy those here. All participants will receive a wristband which will unlock the many great specials that participating bars will be offering and a t-shirt (while supplies last). Not to mention that all of the ticket sales go to benefit a local charity in the Fox Valley!
