As the calendar turns from February to March, one of Baltimore’s most favorite holidays gets ready to come into season. St. Patrick’s Day began as a religious holiday in the 1600s, but has evolved over time to become best associated with swaths of people dressed in green drinking together. Some cities’ St. Patrick’s Day festivities are more widely known (think Chicago or Boston) but Charm City knows how to get down, too.
Check out these five events in mid-March if you want to get into the spirit and celebrate the warmer weather and fun with friends!
1. The Heel’d Experience: Magically Delicious Beginners Sexy Heels Class; Friday, March 13 from 8 to 10:30 p.m.
This is a sexy heels class for beginners that will help anyone who attends learn to dance and party in a pair of high heels! The event is at C. Rose’s Event Center Suite and is open to anyone who wants to strut their sexy stuff and have some laughs with friends new and old. There is a $20 entry fee, and those who want more information can contact 443-500-0254.

3. St. Patrick’s Day Mocktail Class; Monday, March 16 from 6 to 8 p.m.

The drinks get more expensive as the day goes on, so get here early and be ready to have some fun!
5. Mint to Be St. Patrick’s Day Singles Happy Hour; Tuesday, March 17 from 6:30 to 9 p.m.
