TICKETS: 2026 Erin Express St. Patrick's Day Philly Bar Crawl
St. Patrick’s Day in Philadelphia reaches its peak with the Erin Express® St. Patrick’s Day Philly Bar Crawl, the longest-running and most iconic crawl in the city. Taking place on March 14th, Erin Express continues a tradition that’s been part of Philly’s St. Patrick’s Day culture for over 60 years. With expanded bar access, massive outdoor party locations, and exclusive giveaways at check-in, Erin Express remains the gold standard for St. Patrick’s Day bar crawls nationwide.
Every year, Erin Express grows bigger—and 2026 is no exception. More venues, more drink specials, and more ways to celebrate make this event the most anticipated St. Patrick’s Day experience in Philadelphia. Purchasing tickets early guarantees the best price and ensures you don’t miss out on this legendary crawl.
