Downtown Wabash, Indiana

March 3, 2023 @ 5:00 pm - 8:00 pm

Returning for its second year in Downtown Wabash, the Leprechaun-Con Bar Crawl is the perfect reason to grab a group of your lucky charms in the pursuit-of-hoppiness! Come dressed in all the green you own and follow the stamping map to Downtown bars for St. Patrick’s Day-inspired drinks, food and even (s)hopping deals. Turn your completed Leprechaun-Con Bar Crawl stamping map into our office and enter for a chance to win a pot of gold! (Just kidding, no real gold here.) But there will be an awesome gift basket on the other side of the rainbow.

Of course, there’s more to March’s First Friday than the Bar Crawl! Enjoy plenty of fun shopping specials in any of our 20+ boutiques. Satisfy your hunger at any of our 10+ places to eat. Get creative with any of our 12+ arts & entertainment spots. Find the perfect parking spot in any of our 7 FREE parking lots.

(Consuming alcohol on the Leprechaun-Con Bar Crawl is for adults 21 & over.)

Downtown Wabash First Fridays are made possible by generous Top Level Sponsors: Pettit Printing and Crossroads Bank; and Mid Level Sponsor: 95.9 KISS FM.
