How it is already March!? Anyone else absolutely astonished by how fast the start of the new year has come and gone? Well, we sure are. But that’s fine because what lay ahead is warm and sunny weather, baseball, and of course: Saint Patrick’s Day! The luck of the Irish floods the valley in the coming weeks with fun events celebrating St. Patrick's Day, and we've created a list of these celebrations you'll want to add to your March calendar.
Phoenix St. Patrick’s Day Parade & Faire
Just a short drive from your Acero Estrella Commons apartment is the lively and vibrant city of Phoenix, and on March 14th, the largest St. Patrick’s Day Parade in the valley! The parade starts at 10 a.m. and will have everything from Irish dancers and floats to bagpipers and marching bands. Following the parade is the St. Patrick’s Day Faire in Margaret T. Hance Park, where all kinds of vendors, food booths, drinks, and live entertainment await! If you’ve never been to the Phoenix St. Patrick’s Day parade, also known as the “greenest day in the desert” make this the year that you do, we can guarantee you won’t regret it!
Green Beer & Pizza at N-Dub Pizza Pub
If pizza, beer and pool better fit your idea of a celebratory St. Patrick’s Day, then you’ll want to head to the N-DUB Pizza Pub on March 17 for their St. Patty’s Day party. With green beer and green pizza (don’t ask, we don’t really know how either) you’ll feel the luck of the Irish running through your blood as you dance along to live music from Risky Business, a new Goodyear 80s party band!
