6 Fun St. Patrick's Day Activities to Celebrate at Home (If Myrtle Beach Isn't an Option)

6 Fun St. Patrick s Day Activities to Celebrate at Home (If Myrtle Beach Isn t an Option)

St. Patrick's Day on March 17 is famous for pots of gold, leprechauns, rich Irish traditions, and vibrant green hues everywhere. In Myrtle Beach, we'll mark the occasion with beach walks, attractions, and dining—all decked out in green!

While events are resuming, families can still enjoy meaningful celebrations at home. If you can't visit the Grand Strand this year, here are six expert-recommended ways to embrace the luck of the Irish:

  1. Draw colorful rainbows with chalk on your driveway or sidewalk—complete with a pot of gold and leprechaun at the end!
  2. Craft green pancakes or waffles for breakfast by adding food coloring to your batter. For a nutritious option, blend a green smoothie with bananas, apple juice, spinach, and pineapple.
  3. Search online for authentic Irish bagpipe performances. Their unique sound is captivating when played masterfully!
  4. Dress head-to-toe in green to avoid those playful pinches.
  5. Adults: Tint your favorite beer green for the ultimate St. Patrick's Day toast.
  6. For dinner, prepare classics like Irish Beef Stew or Shepherd's Pie. Locally in Myrtle Beach, try spots like The Ole Irish Pub, The Old Bull & Bush Pub & Eatery, Finn McCool's, O'Keefe's Irish Pub, or oceanfront Molly Darcy's.

As an old Irish blessing goes: "May your blessings outnumber the shamrocks that grow, and may trouble avoid you wherever you go."

Here's to hoping a four-leaf clover brings you to The Beach next St. Patrick's Day!
