St. Patrick’s Day on Lanzarote is more than just a fantastic afternoon. The festive spirit lasts all week, with many visitors arriving specifically for the days leading up to the Saint’s Day. Here’s what you can expect from some of Puerto del Carmen’s most popular Irish pubs:
The festivities kick off on the afternoon of Tuesday, March 10th, with the opening of the Cheltenham Festival. This marks the start of four days of thrilling racing, featuring seven races each afternoon and culminating in the iconic Gold Cup on Friday.
Cheltenham has long shared a special bond with Ireland, and local pubs and bars will be fully immersed in the action, showing every race live.

With over 20 years in business, Nelly’s is a bar that’s sure to be full of atmosphere during St. Patrick’s week. The bar, tucked away in the little square of C.C. Olivin, will kick off by showing the Cheltenham Festival with live music in the evenings. The lead up to St. Patrick’s Day will feature live acts all day.
They will also have a stall down at the Plaza del Varadero, so be sure to say hello if you’re dropping by.
