Saint John's Premier St. Paddy's Pub Adventure
About The Leap
As Canada’s oldest incorporated city, Saint John wears its Irish heritage proudly — which makes it the perfect backdrop for a St. Paddy’s Day party you won’t forget. The Leprechaun Leap is all about unleashing your inner mischief-maker, bringing together the young – and the young at heart – for a lively Uptown adventure packed with good vibes, great company, and a whole lot of green. But the magic doesn’t stop there. Every Leap helps fuel cutting-edge surgical excellence initiatives at the Saint John Regional Hospital, turning a day of fun into real impact for patients across our region.
Your Community. Real Impact.

FAQ
What's included in my registration fee?
Your registration includes: 2026 event t-shirt, two (2) tokens, access to exclusive specials and a chance to win our Pot O’ Gold prizes!
Is the event accessible?
While we can’t guarantee full accessibility at all partner locations, several participating restaurants and pubs do offer accessible options at certain entrances or areas. If you’d like to discuss accessibility details, please email info@leprechaunleap.com
Is the event 19+?
Yes — participants must be 19 or older to register for the Leprechaun Leap. However, some participating restaurants and pubs may permit minors if they are accompanied by an adult. Please check with individual venues for their specific policies.
This sounds fun, but I don't drink. Can I still participate?
Absolutely. In addition to the tokens being good for non-alcoholic beverages, you will also be able to use them at some of our partners for food!
Do I need to visit every location?
No. The beauty of the Leap is you can visit as many (or as few locations) as you’d like. A pro tip: if your plan is to check-in early at registration so that you can go have dinner at one of the participating locations, then we suggest that you book a reservation as soon as we put the list out!
What is your refund policy?
Refunds will not be issued for this event.
