Patch asked for your favorite St. Patrick's Day gathering places around Western Pennsylvania, and you answered!

An interactive map of reader-recommended places to gather March 17 is posted above.

So if you're looking for a place to enjoy a great Guinness while wearing green, be sure to check out the posted suggestions.

Locally, the Cranberry Sports Grille on Freedom Road in Cranberry is offering a number of drink and foods specials, Irish music and dancing at family friendly events Saturday, March 16 (known as "St. Practice Day") and Sunday, March 17.

The annual Shamrock Shuffle to benefit the Zelienople-Harmony Chamber of Commerce and the Zelienople Rotary Club also takes place Saturday, March 16 in Harmony.

The half marathon portion of the shuffle kicks off at 7:30 a.m. The 5K race begins at 10 a.m. and the one-mile fun run is at 10:45 a.m.

Of course, it wouldn't be a St. Paddy's day race without green beer.

Some of the shuffle's unusual (and fun!) aspects include keg stands, jello shots and crazy water stations. The green beer also will be flowing to the race's finishline.
