The city of Houston is set to go green this weekend with a slew of St. Patrick's Day celebrations across its sprawling suburbs, from traditional Irish dances to family-friendly parades, and about to rain green beer across the city.

The suburb of Conroe offers a unique blend of cultural festivities including the 26th Annual Conroe St. Patrick’s Day Walking Parade on Sunday, and a chili cook-off on Saturday, as reported by the Houston Chronicle. Marchers in the parade can expect to follow the swirl of bagpipes through the heart of Conroe in a touching tribute, as the community dons crazy socks in memory of one of the event's founders.

The Woodlands is serving up its festive flair with performances by the McTeggart Irish Dancers at The Woodlands Children’s Museum, and suds-slinging at The Goose’s Acre Bistro & Irish Pub, ensuring no pint glass goes unraised or jig undanced. Meanwhile, the Katy area is set to sprint into the spirit with the Time to Paddy 5K, 10K, and Lucky 13.1 Run starting at the break of dawn, as per the same Chronicle article.

The venerable Saint Arnold Brewing Company swings wide its doors for a bash featuring live entertainment, beer, and a uniquely Houstonian Donegal Beard Growing Competition, while Urban South Brewery tempts the town with green beer specials and kid-friendly attractions, including a bounce house that is sure to have both adults and little ones hopping, according to a piece on Visit Houston Texas.

Downtown Houston, where the Marriott Marquis Houston is elevating the experience with a rooftop bash featuring an unbeatable view of the skyline, music, and festive fare, reported by Visit Houston Texas. Eagle Houston is set to fill Montrose with music and revelry all Sunday.
