Hear ye, hear ye! Boston’s lovers of great beer and good times are reacting to the news that the party is ON. Harpoon Brewery has announced the return of their fan favorite St Patrick’s Festival! After having to cancel the 2021 St Pats Festival due to the Covid-19 pandemic, the folks at Harpoon are delighted to welcome guests back to their Boston brewery campus for a weekend of beer, music, and revelry. So, round up your posse and get ready for a good time! Founder Dan Kenary explains, “Harpoon Brewery welcomes all to join us Friday, March 4th and Saturday, March 5th for our annual Harpoon St. Patrick’s Festival. Get ready to enjoy a weekend of friendly banter, live music, flowing taps, and thousands of other beer-loving folks loving the heck out of life at the biggest St. Patrick’s Day celebration in the city!”
The party will take place under heated tents outside of Harpoon’s Boston brewery. Boston’s best bands will be performing live while you have a drink in one hand and food from a local vendor in the other.
The festival will kick off on Friday, March 4th starting at 6pm. Your favorite Harpoon brews will be flowing while local band Comanchero will get the crowd dancing. Comanchero will be followed by Colum Cille Pipes & Drums (Bagpipes & all) from 7:15 – 7:45PM.
Then, don’t miss out on the Ceremonial Tapping of the keg. Gather around the main stage at 8pm and get ready to raise a glass and say a cheer to the start of the wonderful St. Patrick’s season! The Ceremonial Tapping will be followed by live music from crowd-favorite U2 Tribute band, Joshua Tree. To close out the evening, Boston party band 7 Day Weekend will kick the vibe up a notch with a set that is sure to get your body moving and send you dancing off into the night. Tickets for Friday are $30 (includes 1 drink ticket) or $45 (includes 3 drink tickets) and are available HERE.
