Shamrock Festival
The Shamrock Festival will be from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. That’s an earlier start than last year, and you know what that means. You’ll have plenty of time to engage in some St. Patrick’s Day fun.
Admission is free to the festival and that’s unbelievable when you consider everything it has to offer. The live music and adult beverages make it easy to get in the St. Patrick’s Day spirit. A new band or DJ will hit the stage every hour or so, so you will get to hear all kinds of great music.
Freedom First Kids Zone
What if you have kids? They might not appreciate music and beer, but they’ll love the kids’ zone. It’s open from noon to 5 p.m., and it’ll have all the things your kids love. They can play some games, jump on the inflatables, and get their faces painted. They will have the time of their lives, and since admission is free, they can play all day.
