March’s Featured Event
We couldn’t go and leave you in March without mentioning all the fantastic local breweries and bars that are bound to show you a good time for St. Patrick’s Day. Enjoy the festivities all weekend long starting with Wilmington’s annual St. Patrick’s Day Parade on March 16th. Come party like the Irish do in a sea of green and with an overly enthusiastic crowd. Drink up lads and lassies!
“If you’re enough lucky to be Irish…
You’re lucky enough!”– Irish Proverb
So here is to that day where everyone is Irish and everything is the color of money. May the luck of the Irish be with you (or something like that… hey, I’m Italian)
