🚨 IMPORTANT HALFWAY FEST UPDATE! 🚨

Due to a 95% chance of rain and thunderstorms tomorrow, we’re officially moving Halfway to St. Patrick’s Day Festival INDOORS for BOTH Saturday and Sunday! ☘️🌧️

One of the biggest perks of having a 90,000-square-foot home is that when Chicago weather doesn’t cooperate, we always have a contingency plan! 🙌

Everything we’ve advertised is STILL ON! Live music, local vendors, Irish food and drinks, raffles, cultural activities, entertainment, and more will all be happening inside the IAHC throughout the weekend. The only exception is Sunday’s bouncy house, which will be determined by the end of the day tomorrow based on conditions.

And don’t worry—we’ve already decked out the Center in plenty of St. Patrick’s décor, so the Halfway Fest spirit is ready to go! 💚☘️

Rain or shine, the celebration is ON. We can’t wait to welcome everyone tomorrow and Sunday for a full weekend of Irish music, culture, community, and fun—without having to worry about the weather! 🇮🇪🎶

📍 Irish American Heritage Center
📅 Saturday: 12-10:30 PM & Sunday: 12-8 PM
☘️ NOW INDOORS!
