St. Patrick’s Day is the blowout in Boston, and there are all kinds of ways to celebrate.

But first, you’ll need something appropriate to wear before you hit the town, and yes, we’re thinking green. Heading for a nice dinner out? Reach for Boden’s Scallop Henley Knitted Dress ($190 on us.boden.com), a midi cut with a pretty scalloped neckline in Kelly green.

Looking to bundle up a bit? The Ladies Merino Button Poncho ($99.95 on aran.com) in army green is made of 100% natural wool and was made in Ireland. Its Aran cable and honeycomb pattern comes signed and stamped with a certificate of authenticity.

Or, how about the cool, sassy and affordable Monterey Pants ($65 on balticborn.com) in an emerald-and-ivory tropical leaf print? The many sweet details — from the smocking at the waist to the decorative front tie — are just the kind of charming twists the day calls for.

All of the above will be more than welcome at Sweeney’s on Boylston (sweeneysboston.com) at The Lenox Hotel. The posh new Back Bay Irish pub starts celebrating at 2:30 p.m. on March 16 with a festive menu spotlighting classic Irish dishes like corned beef and cabbage, potato salad, and fish and chips, while Irish step dancers perform just outside in the hotel lobby.

In lieu of the usual pub crawl, how about gathering up your favorite fur friends for the St. Patrick’s Day Pup Crawl on March 15  from noon to 2 p.m.? (Find details at thestreetchestnuthill.com/event/st-patricks-day-pup-crawl-4; rain date: March 16). Expect a festive stroll around the property, complimentary treats, photo opportunities, and a chance to win a $100 gift card to Polkadog Bakery. The event kicks off at Polkadog Bakery, and Street Insider App VIPs get early access to tickets and complimentary pet photos.

Over at Buttermilk & Bourbon in Watertown (buttermilkbourbon.com), a special edition of the Down & Dirty Dinner Club series featuring Irish Whiskey is going down on March 17. They’re collaborating with Wilderness Trail to offer a three-course Irish Whiskey dinner featuring chef Jason Santos’s delish dishes from 6 to 8 p.m., with flight pairings for each course. Grab tickets for $75 per person at www.buttermilkbourbon.com/store/event/down-dirty-dinner-club-irish-whiskey-dinner.

Drop in any day all throughout March to McGonagle’s Pub & Restaurant (mcgonagles.com) and they’ll offer you specials including corned beef and cabbage and $1 oysters weekdays from 2-5 p.m. with every purchase of a Guinness pint. Likewise Summer Shack (summershackrestaurant.com), has whipped up a New England Boiled Dinner of cured, slow-roasted corned beef with horseradish cream, mustard pickles, cabbage, buttery potatoes, and veggies for March 14.

If you’re looking to celebrate in a truly Colonial-inspired space, check out Rebel’s Guild (rebelsguild.com) at The Revere Hotel. The festive menu (available March 15–18) is filled with everything from a butter board with fennel-scented marmalade and Irish soda bread and Guinness poutine, while the hotel itself is offering a “Get Lucky” package throughout March that includes overnight accommodations and a $50 dining credit in the pub.

And if nothing but a full-on traditional pub crawl will satisfy, turn to the Gold Rush Bar Crawl, one of the city’s biggest Saint Patrick’s Day events. Participating venues include Game On!, Loretta’s, Bleacher Bar, Lansdowne Pub, Bill’s Bar, Back Bay Social, Summer Shack, and Rochambeau. Tickets are $18 per person and can be purchased at https://www.eventbrite.com/e/gold-rush-bar-crawl-bostons-biggest-saint-patricks-day-event-tickets-1135683141849?utm-campaign=social&utm-content=attendeeshare&utm-medium=discovery&utm-term=listing&utm-source=cp&aff=ebdsshcopyurl.
