Do you know how you’ve been saying you wanted a reason to get back on the Brightline? Here’s the plan: Take the early train up to West Palm Beach on St. Patrick’s Day and hit the 9am start of the all-day festival put on by dive-bar-beautiful O’Shea’s, which includes a band from the Old Country, Irish dancers and enough Guinness to make the trip back become a literal blur. Festivities go 'til 4am, so don't forget to pace yourself.

What starts at 11am as a family-friendly parade with floats, marching bands, Clydesdale horses and bagpipers turns into a booze-fueled street party in pretty much all of downtown Fort Lauderdale on March 11. Let the kiddos do the early stuff, and then arrive later to party with the people who’ve been drinking all day.

Tickets to this Wynwood club crawl are the steepest of the bunch, starting at $40 for early-bird general admission.

Participating clubs on the route include Racket (noon to 3pm), Centro (3 to 6pm) and Electric Lady (6 to 10pm), but don your wristband early for access to crawl pre-parties (locations TBD) in the days leading up to the main event. March 18 at noon
