Newport always rolls out the green carpet for St. Paddy’s Day revelers, and this year is no different. Leading up to The 61st Annual Newport St. Patrick’s Day Parade is a week of Newport Storm Pint Nights happening at Newport bars from March 5-10, where a pint of Newport Storm’s Spring Irish Red Ale gets you an official St. Patrick’s Day glass you won’t a have to sneak home in someone’s purse. The parade, happening this year on March 11, will feature pipe bands, fife and drum corps, reenactment groups and local police and firefighters as they march from Newport City Hall to St. Augustin’s Church. Afterward, families can keep the party going at the Family Celebration at the Martin Recreation Center, featuring traditional Irish music and step dancers.
