Tampa’s River O’Green festival is returning this year, with a new “Leprechaun’s Hideout” to escape the sun and enjoy some Irish brews.
The annual St. Patrick’s Day celebration takes place each year on or near the holiday, this year on March 15.
The Tampa Downtown Partnership, which organizes the event, is describing the 2025 festival as its biggest yet.
As it always does, the festival’s highlight will be coloring the Hillsborough River green. The process uses non-toxic, biodegradable dye that meets Environmental Protection Agency standards.
Attendees, or those passing through the area, should plan ahead for crowds and some road closures.
