St. Patrick’s Day is one of the biggest drinking days of the year, even when it falls—as it does this year—on a Tuesday. Since most of us can’t take the workday off, many activities have been scheduled for this weekend. The holiday offers other things to do aside from drinking green beer (whiskey?), including a taste of Irish food, music and dance. Don’t forget the St. Patrick’s Day Parade marching through Downtown starting at noon on Saturday, March 14, or the Shamrock Club Post-Parade Party at the Irish Cultural & Heritage Center (2133 W. Wisconsin Ave.) from 1-6 p.m.
Editor's Note: The 54th Annual St. Patrick's Day Parade has been cancelled.
All events are on Tuesday, March 17, unless otherwise noted.
