St. Paddy’s Day Shenanigans

It’s another St. Patrick’s Day in Boston and everyone’s got party plans. Believe it or not, there’s plenty of stuff to do that’s not in a basement on Mission Hill. Yes, parties are fun, but if you want to get out and off campus, here are some suggestions.

The St. Patty’s Dashunt
This is a two-hour scavenger hunt with multiple parts for teams of 10 or more. Each team will take on several tasks, including a 100-item photo hunt, and Irish trivia hunt, the “Lucky Leprechaun Mystery Hunt,” the “Clover Coin Bonus Round,” an Irish treasure hunt, and a “video dash.” Prizes are T-shirts and everyone gets a CD with pictures and videos from the event. It costs $25 and starts at Faneuil Hall. Go to Cashunt.com for more information.

Dropkick Murphy’s March Mayhem
The Dropkick Murphy’s have been around Boston all week, and on Wednesday, McGreevy’s is “Dropkick Headquarters.” There will be ticket giveaways before their show at the House of Blues, and after the show, the band will be hanging out at the bar. McGreevy’s is located at 911 Boylston St. Go to Mcgreevysboston.com for more information.

The Boondock Saints St. Patrick’s Day Party

Celtics vs. Knicks
Whether you’re a fan or not, Celtics games are fun. Grab some cheap tickets, pull on a green shirt and cheer on the most Irish team in the NBA.
