St Patrick's Day is coming up on March 17 and Edinburgh is getting ready for the town to be painted green.
Pubs and clubs across the capital are gettign ready for the annual celebration of Ireland's patron saint.
The day itself falls on a Tuesday, so many venues are holding their St Paddy's parties the preceding weekend, March 14 and 15.
Last year we had Jedward perform in the Cowgate as well as plenty of Irish music. It looks like the irrepressible duo are aback again this year.
Here's a round up of some of the best events in Edinburgh.
Cowgate St Patrick's Festival
This will be your main hub for Guinness-soaked festivities in the days running up to St Patrick's Day.
Starting on Saturday, March 14, the pubs and clubs around the Cowgate will be counting down to the big day.
You can watch the Six Nations Super Saturday live at the Three Sisters, which has live music and DJs the following day.
Later on they'll have Charlie Simpson from Busted and Edele Lynch of B*Witched.
The Wee Pub in the Grassmarket also have £5 breakfast rolls pop-up, served all day from 9am. We have a feeling they'll be needed.
You can find out more about the festival here.
Jedward - The Three Sisters
John and Edward are back on the night before the big day. As part of the Cowgate festival, they'll be at The Three Sisters on March 16.
The pub said: "Jedward fans will be happy to hear that we couldn't have a Paddy's bash without these two. John and Edward will be on our stage for Paddy's Eve!"
You'll need wristbands to get in, which can be bought here.
St Patrick's Day Pageant - Portobello
The St Patrick's Day pageant is a long-running tradition in Portobello. It could be the last time it's hosted by the Dalriada pub, which has been put up for sale as flats.
The free event takes place on Portobello Promenade and is organised by Edinburgh's Festival of Ireland.
They say: "A great family day out! Parade on Portobello Promenade with pipe band, Irish dancers, stilt walkers and more! Other activities on the day include face-painting, genealogy, puppet show and special food."

St Patrick's Day Party - McSorley's
If you don't already own as giant Guinness-shaped leprechaun hat then here's your chance. Get ready for an all-day party at McSorley's on Forrest Road.
The food is provided by Down the Hatch, the French Canadian-themed diner we're big fans of.
Doors open at 11am, with live music from noon until midnight on March 17.
McSorley's say: "The biggest party of the year comes round once again!
"Join us for another epic St Patrick's Day Party with live music all day, great craic and a sea of Guinness hats being given away!"
