Celebrate St. Patrick’s Day with the family! With St. Patrick’s Day right around the corner, it’s a good idea to know where you and your little leprechauns can go to celebrate. From parades and festivals to gold hunts and corned beef, there are lots of options for everyone to have a sham-rocking good time! Read on to discover the fun you’ll definitely find at the end of this rainbow! Seaside St. Patrick’s Day Parade In true small-town, parade-by-the-beach fashion, this Hermosa Beach annual event certainly brings on the Irish with school marching bands, bagpipers, floats, horses and Irish Setters. Grab a curbside seat with your wee ones, throw on some green and prepare to watch the revelry unfold. Afterward, march yourselves over to Hennessey’s Tavern to refuel the family (and to keep the St. Patrick’s Day fun going!). Can You Find Lucky the Leprechaun’s Pot of Gold? On the Friday morning before St. Patrick’s Day, enjoy a story with the Malibu Public Library’s Children’s librarian, create holiday-inspired art, hunt for gold, win a prize and eat a snack fit for a leprechaun (or two). Be sure to keep your Irish eyes peeled for the special surprise guest scheduled to make an appearance! St. Patrick’s Day at the Original Farmer’s Market Frolicking fun is in full Irish effect with live music, corned beef and cabbage, green beer and lots o’ cheer at the Original Farmers Market on St. Patrick’s Day. A bagpiper strolls the Market in the afternoon and a traditional Irish folk singer plays in the evening. It’s the perfect place to get a little shopping done while you and the family get your green on! |
