Step into the vibrant beat of Downtown Fayetteville with a thrilling lineup of events this March. Get ready to paint the town green as the Cool Spring Downtown District (CSDD) unveils a whirlwind of St. Patrick's Day celebrations, the return of 4th Friday and a Comedy Trolley Tour.

Embrace the luck of the Irish during the "Irish You Would'' Pub Crawl on Saturday, March 16, and Sunday, March 17. From Cru Fayetteville to the cozy corners of Blue Moon Café, this self-guided walking pub crawl will feature food and beverage specials and free swag, while supplies last. Participating businesses include Cru Fayetteville, Gaston Brewing Company, Winterbloom, Bruce’s Sportsbloc and Lounge, The Livery Cigar Emporium, The Sip Room and Blue Moon Café.

The fun continues next weekend. On Friday, March 22, CSDD presents the Sassy Lassies Comedy Trolley Tour featuring the comedic prowess of Janeen Slaughter and Liz Donehue.

Additionally, mark your calendars for the much-awaited return of 4th Friday on March 22. With over 60 vendors, live performances and tantalizing food carts, there's something for everyone to enjoy. Don’t miss the poignant "Walk Awhile in Her Shoes" event, shining a light on an important cause in our community, domestic violence. This family-friendly walk where men are invited to wear high-heeled shoes to show their support for victims throughout the community. To add to the festivities, the Fayetteville Symphony Orchestra will feature a Jazz Ensemble, weather permitting, playing underneath the Market House for all to enjoy.
