St. Patrick’s Day in Queenstown – Paint the Town Green on 17th March 🍀

Queenstown loves any excuse for a good time, and St. Patrick’s Day is the perfect occasion to embrace the craic, wear your best green gear, and raise a pint (or two) to the luck of the Irish. Whether you're chasing live music, festive vibes, or just an excuse to celebrate in one of the most beautiful places on earth, this lakeside paradise has you covered.
Go Green (But Maybe Not Your Car)
We can’t promise you’ll get a green car from Evolve Rentals, but we can guarantee a smooth ride to all the best spots around Queenstown. And with the town going all out for St. Paddy’s, you won’t need a four-leaf clover to find a good time.
Where to Celebrate St. Patrick’s Day in Queenstown
🍀 Póg Mahone’s Irish Pub – The closest thing to Dublin this side of the world, with live music, hearty Irish fare, and plenty of Guinness.
🍀 1876 Bar & Restaurant – A local favourite with great vibes and special St. Paddy’s Day deals.
🍀 The World Bar – Themed cocktails, DJs, and plenty of room for some questionable Irish dancing.
🍀 Kiwi Crawl – Join the ultimate bar crawl experience, hitting multiple venues with fellow party-goers.
Celebrate Smart – Keep the Craic, Ditch the Keys
St. Patrick’s Day is all about good times, but if you’re raising a glass (or a few), let your car have the night off. Queenstown’s scenic roads are best enjoyed with a clear head, so sort out a taxi, hop on a bus, or call in a favour from a designated driver. A bit of Irish luck won’t get you home safely—but good planning will!
Feeling Lucky? Catch the Southern Lights
If you’re extra lucky this St. Patrick’s Day, you might witness one of nature’s most spectacular shows—Aurora Australis, the Southern Hemisphere’s version of the Northern Lights. March is the start of aurora season, and if the conditions are right, you might just see the skies dance in shades of green and purple. Top spots for viewing include Moke Lake, Glenorchy, and The Remarkables—just be sure to check the forecast and stay up late.

March is a brilliant time to visit Queenstown. The summer crowds have thinned, the weather is mild, and there’s adventure at every turn. Whether you’re hiking, wine-tasting (responsibly), or road-tripping through stunning landscapes, having a rental car from Evolve Rentals makes exploring easy.
