March into big celebrations!
Spring in Martinsburg arrives with a sense of renewal. The rolling hills begin to glow in fresh shades of green, outdoor patios reopen, and neighbors greet one another a little more often along the sidewalks. As the season settles in, the heart of the celebration can be found in downtown Martinsburg, where community spirit and small-town charm shine brightest.
One of the most anticipated events of the season is the Main Street Martinsburg St. Patrick’s Day Celebration. Each year, the streets come alive with energy, laughter, and a sea of green as residents and visitors gather to welcome spring in festive style. The lively atmosphere is filled with enchanting live Irish music that keeps toes tapping and hands clapping well into the evening.
The celebration’s popular beer garden is stocked with the finest selections on tap, ensuring everyone can find the perfect brew to raise a toast to the Irish spirit. Friends gather at picnic tables, glasses lifted high, sharing stories and cheers as music echoes through downtown. And there’s no need to worry about going hungry. Guests can explore the culinary delights of Martinsburg’s fabulous downtown restaurants, along with a lineup of fantastic food trucks serving up mouthwatering Irish-inspired dishes.
Best of all, entry to the Main Street Martinsburg St. Patrick’s Day Celebration is FREE for all.
The Irish festivities continue at Amani Brewing, which is back with its 2nd Annual St. Patrick’s Day Party. Expect a special beer release, handcrafted cocktails, delicious food, and exciting raffles throughout the event. It’s another can’t-miss stop on a weekend filled with celebration, flavor, and fun.
Finish out the weekend of local St. Patrick's festivities at Black Draft Distillery for their 2026 St. Patrick’s Party. They will be featuring Billy & The Curley Brothers... along with special Irish Cocktails!
