Molson Coors is once again offering free bus rides for Milwaukee County residents on the weekend before St. Patrick's Day.

All Milwaukee County Transit System bus rides will be free beginning at 6 p.m. on Saturday, March 15, according to a March 4 MCTS news release. The free fares will continue until the end of regular service on all MCTS routes.

The free rides coincide with the Shamrock Club of Wisconsin's annual St. Patrick's Day parade, which is slated to begin at noon.

“No matter where your celebrations take you, we want our Milwaukee community to feel confident knowing that free rides will be available on Saturday evening, ensuring everyone can get to their destinations with a reliable ride," said Molson Coors Community Affairs Manager Alison Hanrahan.

Miller Lite’s Free Rides program provided more than 2,000 free rides for Milwaukeeans celebrating St. Patrick's Day in 2024 alone, the release said. Moreover, the program has provided more than 9 million free rides across the nation since its inception in Milwaukee in 1988.

Here's what to know:
