Your friends and coworkers are dressed in bright or perhaps overbearing shades of green (except the people in my office of course -- everyone is dressed quite dandy today) and that's because it's St. Patrick's Day.

But you're probably looking for something to do tonight, that is if you're not locked to your television watching the NCAA Tournament.

We've got a big list of parties and concerts tonight on our Picks Page, including the lineup for McMenamins' big weekend-long party.

But you should really check out one of the more interesting St. Patty's Day events in town, and that's the progressive march of the Bend Fire Pipes and Drum band. They will be all over town tonight and here's their schedule:

5:00pm playing around downtown Bend

5:30pm Bend Brewing Company

6:00pm Sidelines

6:30pm JC’s Bar and Grill

7:15pm 10 Barrel Pub

8:15pm The Midtown – With 5 Pint Mary

8:45pm JC’s Bar and Grill

9:15pm McMenamins – With the Moon Mountain Ramblers

9:45pm McMenamins – O’Kanes Pub
