St. Patrick’s Day in the Inland Empire

St. Patrick, the great saint of green beer and senseless partying, will bestow a day of drinking fun upon the Inland Empire in early March! Want to know where the best St. Patrick’s Day parties in the Inland Empire are at? We’ve got your list.

• Killarney’s St. Patrick’s Day – Riverside – Best of the Inland Empire
  • This enormous parking lot party will feature multiple stages, live bands, pipers, Irish dancers, Irish games, merchandise, outside bars, an ice luge and the Hangar 24 beer truck! It’s the biggest party in the IE. Avoid long lines by showing up early and staying inside.
  • The party starts with Keg’s -n- Eggs in the morning for a very reasonable price (~$25), with all you can eat and drink Packinghouse and Bootlegger’s brew from 8 – 11am. Live music starts in the morning and goes until the very late evening with a mix of Irish bands, local rock, pipers and DJ’s.
  • Killarney’s Temecula is also fun for a more all ages crowd, with Riverside being the young adult hot spot.
• Insomniac’s Beyond Wonderland – San Bernardino – Best of the Inland Empire
  • Insomniac’s Beyond Wonderland is an enormous St. Patrick’s Day event that draws huge crowds from around Southern California for this top notch electronic music festival. A SoCal treasure for large festivals in our backyard of San Bernardino. Tickets start at around $75 and go up from there, but this event is worth every penny.
