Athbhliain faoi mhaise dhuit (Happy New Year)!

Now that the holidays are over, it’s time to start planning for the holiday we’ve really been waiting for...St. Patrick’s Day!

This year’s festivities will be here before you know it so don’t wait to submit your parade entry application. Deadline for submission is March 1st.

This year’s theme will be The Spirit of the Kells & be a celebration of Irish folk tales, myths, and legends. From leprechauns to banshees, tragic lovers to mischievous witches, mighty warriors to sprites and fairies....the magic of Ireland comes alive in its mythology and rich history of storytelling.

Please spread the word to potential sponsors, parade entries & vendors, & volunteers to join us for the annual Salt Lake City St. Patrick’s Day parade.

Irish Night with the Poets-POSTPONED. Dear devotees of the spoken word,
Due to the inclement weather, we are forced to postpone this evening’s “Night with the Irish Poets”.
The safety of our attendees and performers is a top priority, and with the widespread snowfall, we think this is the best course of action.
We’re working on finding a new date and will keep you updated as soon as we can. In the meantime, stay warm & cozy and keep an eye out for our next announcement.

Five hours bent over with a paint roller, 18 gallons of paint, one pint when the job is done….priceless.
