The streets of Deadwood will go green on March 17 & 18 with the Deadwood PubPort, a parade, the Pub Crawl and numerous parties in the bars, saloons and casinos in town.

Deadwood's St. Paddy's celebration will kick off on Friday, March 17, with the third annual St. Paddy's PubPort Shuffle. Participants can sign up for the PubPort by visiting the registration tent in Outlaw Square anytime between 5 – 9 p.m. on Friday, March 17.
