Explore Montgomery County Through Its Fun Spring Events!

There’s plenty to do in Montgomery County, Kansas, throughout the year, from exploring its race tracks to visiting local zoos. However, March is a particularly fun time in the region, with each town celebrating Spring with events, festivals, and other activities.

“One of the benefits of living in a rural community is you get to spend more time with your friends and neighbors,” says Melissa Johnson, Executive Director of the Montgomery County Action Council (MCAC). “Whenever you leave the house, you can meet people with similar interests and enjoy a variety of indoor and outdoor activities.”

Independence St. Patrick’s Day Pub Crawl 

One of the best ways to explore Downtown Independence and make new friends is to attend the St. Patrick’s Day Pub Crawl on Saturday, March 14, from 6 PM to 10 PM. This event is put on by Independence Main Street to celebrate local businesses while embracing the Luck of the Irish.

Pub crawl locations include:

• Uncle Jack's Bar & Grill

Attendees can pick up $5 Pub Crawl Passports before the event and t-shirts in a variety of sizes and styles. There will also be a prize drawing during the pub crawl at the Turbos Sports Bar and Grill stop.

This pub crawl allows visitors and locals alike to explore local bars and restaurants they might not have tried. After the event, they can return to further explore the menus and enjoy refreshing drink specials.
