There are other ways to celebrate St. Patrick's Day in Pittsburgh, besides attending the annual parade. In fact, according to a recent ranking from Niche, Pittsburgh is the best city in the U.S. for celebrating the holiday. In honor of the city's new title, here are some St. Patty's Day events from the Tribune-Review to put in your calendar.
Beer Session
On March 17, the Pittsburgh Cultural Trust's Craft Beer School will host a session on ales created at area breweries that use green or environmentally sustainable practices.
Tony “The Beer Man” Knipling of Vecenie Distributing will host the session called “When Green Beer Is Good Beer.” It offers tastings of several beers, light appetizers, a Q&A period and an opportunity to win door prizes.
The event will kick off at 6 p.m. in the Cabaret at Theater Square, 655 Penn Ave., Downtown. Admission is $29.75, but the session is sold out. However, the luck of the Irish might help you snag a cancellation turned in to the box office.

Green Dress Run
Maybe you just wear a green scarf or pin to avoid a nasty glare on St. Patrick's Day. But if you really like wearing green, the Green Dress Run on March 14 at Peter's Pub in Oakland is right up your alley.
Don a green dress and bring $20 — along with your sense of humor — and join the Pittsburgh Hash House Harriers on a trail they promise will be flat, short and dry — with beer and other goodies provided. Participants must be at least 21 years old.
The Harriers will donate proceeds from this year's Green Dress Run to the Animal Rescue League of Western Pennsylvania.
