- Watch the St. Patrick’s Day parade on the Capitol Square
- Eat at least two of the following items at a local restaurant:

- Have at least one drink before noon (anytime during the week)
- Take a picture with someone wearing a “Kiss Me, I’m Irish” T-shirt
- Wear a green St. Patrick’s Day T-shirt with some other funny slogan
- Participate in an organized walk/run of any length (e.g. Shamrock Shuffle, WJJO .10K Race, etc.)

- Spot someone dressed as a leprechaun
