March on Main Street: It’s Time To Welcome in Spring!

Written By Elizabeth Johnson

As winter comes to an end, Ann Arbor will begin to become active and more alive! With warm months approaching we are going to show you the most anticipated activities and events of March. 

Get your bracket finalized, place your bets, and get ready for the best tournament of the year. March Madness begins on March 17th and we are ready to cheer on our Michigan Wolverines. 

There is no shortage of places to watch a good game in Downtown Ann Arbor, so grab a stool or a cozy booth and watch your favorite team come to life in one of these amazing joints. 

Don’t forget about St. Patrick's Day! Get out your best green outfit and get your happy crew of leprechauns ready to hit the town. 

Start making plans for a Main Street bar crawl or a delicious corned beef dinner as soon as possible. 

Here are your go-to spots and activities to hang out with the luckiest people in Ann Arbor.
