Everyone's Irish on this night. It may be IU's spring break but there is plenty going on in town for St. Patrick's Day.

Lá fhéile Pádraig - Happy St. Patrick's Day!  If you can't make it to Ireland, this is the next best thing. The three-day celebration begins at 11 a.m. at THE official St. Patrick's Day Pub. Head to the Irish Lion for traditional Irish fare and craic, Irish whiskeys & single malts and beer (no green beer here!). Bagpiper & giveaways including t-shirts, hats, necklaces, Guinness glassware and more, while supplies last. So grab your friends and enjoy some traditional Corned Beef & Cabbage, Celtic Stew, or Blarney Puffballs and of course, a perfect pint of Guinness. Sláinte (Cheers)! The party happens Friday, March 13, Saturday, March 14, and of course on St. Patrick's Day.
