The annual event, typically held in March, involves participants visiting multiple drinking establishments within a specific geographical area, often Ocean City, Maryland, in celebration of Saint Patrick’s Day. Attendees typically purchase tickets or wristbands providing access to drink specials and various entertainment options at participating venues. The activity encourages socialization and provides a structured way to experience the local nightlife associated with the holiday.
These organized gatherings can significantly benefit local businesses by driving revenue during what might otherwise be a slower period. They also offer a concentrated, festive atmosphere for participants seeking a lively St. Patrick’s Day experience. Historically, such events have evolved from informal gatherings of friends to large-scale, commercially organized activities that contribute substantially to the hospitality and tourism sectors of the host community.
