The Kingdom's version of Saint Patrick's Day. It also incorporates several elements of Mardi Gras.
On St. Sneaky Pete's Day you can cocktailcraft green beers and purchase them from The Gnomish Micromicrobrewery. Also on this holiday, you can drink green beer while you are "falling down drunk" for up to 10 drunkenness points past your normal limit. When your drunkenness meets or exceeds 26, the normal Drunken Stupor adventures are replaced with special St. Sneaky Pete's Day Stupor adventures.

Notes
- In order to get into St. Sneaky Pete's Day Stupor, you must get your drunkenness up to 26 by any method. Such methods include:
- Once you reach at least 26 drunkenness, you will have "Sneaky Pete's Day Stupor" adventures instead of the standard "Drunken Stupor" adventures.
- Up until Sneaky Pete's day XI, strings of beads would only drop for female characters. On Sneaky Pete's day XII and XIII, they only dropped for males.
- Jick said that none of the special "reward" items (orange, yellow, red, green, and blue traffic cone) will be available again on future St. Sneaky Pete's Days.
- St. Sneaky Pete's Day X lasted two days for the reason given in this March 17, 2007 announcement: "Happy St. Sneaky Pete's Day! Sorry it's late -- to make it up to the people who missed it last night after rollover, the entire day of tomorrow will also be St. Sneaky Pete's Day."
- According to dev team member JLE, the April 3, 2007 SSPD happened by accident; Jick pushed the button for St. Sneaky Pete's Day on the right day of the wrong month. Subsequently, the off-season SSPD was aborted sometime late in the morning of April 3. Jick himself said on the forums, "When I edited the code to make it stay SSPD for an extra day after the real St. Patrick's Day, I messed up and used the wrong variable name."
- On St. Sneaky Pete's Day XI "Cinco de Mayo", the day's items were coded to drop only once for each player. Due to the non-tradable flag turned off by mistake, trading or putting the items into the clan stash allowed players to farm. Several SSPD XI items made it into the mall before this was corrected.
- St Sneaky Pete's Day XII was briefly a repeat of the previous "Cinco De Mayo", with the same adventures and item drops. This was fixed after a couple of hours, allowing the yellow glowstick to drop in an otherwise 'normal' manner.
- St Sneaky Pete's Day XVII was a repeat of XVI, with the same items and adventures. The error was not caught until late in the day, and not corrected as doing so would leave out those who had already used up their adventures before the fix.
