Mama Tried Motorcycle Show

Shamrock Shuffle
MARCH 5
The official bar crawl storms Water Street on March 5, but you can build your own shuffle, too. Trade in green beer for quality pours at local breweries (we favor Third Space Brewing’s Mystic Knot Irish coffee stout) or get an obligatory Guinness at one of Milwaukee’s many Irish pubs. Sound like a lot of calories? Consider the Jig Jog 4K run/walk along Milwaukee’s lakefront the morning of the Shuffle.
