St. Patrick's Day Pub Crawl
During the Natchitoches Young Professionals St. Patrick's Day Pub Crawl attendees crawl the bricks and enjoy food and drink specials at downtown restaurants. All of our Front Street member businesses are invited to participate, and many businesses also offer Saint Patrick's Day deals for our crawlers. This crawl also serves as a poker run and costume contest. Prizes are given to the best poker hand and the best costume. Our poker run is managed by a member non-profit organization, who then also receives a portion of the funds raised from this event. Proceeds raised from this event go to fund the Louisiana Young Professionals Conference each year.
