ARLINGTON, VA -- The Shamrock Crawl -- and its presumably thousands of revelers -- is coming to Arlington’s Clarendon neighborhood on Saturday, March 19, from 1-9 p.m.

Organizers are selling “early bird” tickets for $15; tickets go up to $20 on March 1 and will be $30 at the door.

A ticket will get you a refillable signature Shamrock mug, party favors, access to some of Arlington’s bars, raffle entry for prizes and pictures of the event, according to organizers.

A permitting process was put into place after the 2014 event, which drew more than 5,000 people. In 2014, police said there were 25 arrests, 10 reports of public urination — including one on a police squad car with officers inside, The Washington Post reported.

A Reston woman was also arrested that year, after she showed up reportedly drunk and naked to the magistrate’s office to see her husband.

Bars that have signed on so far for the 2016 event include:

• Clarendon Ballroom*

• American Tap Room
