Independent Journalism in Phoenix Needs You
We need to raise $15,000 by August 9 to support the reporting our community depends on. Reader support keeps us independent and is playing a larger role in funding local journalism and shaping what comes next. If you believe independent local journalism matters, make a contribution today.
It may just be us, but the ignorance about traditional Irish culture in ’burg is quite staggering. Don’t believe us? Mention anything Celtic to the average Phoenician and you’ll likely get some drivel about the hottest team in the NBA. If we had the time, we’d march every single Ireland ignoramus to Margaret T. Hance Park to partake in the 25th annual St. Patrick’s Day Parade and Irish Faire. An array of floats, bands, and other parade attractions departs from Third Street and Virginia at 10 a.m., making its way to the park, where a daylong celebration filled with Emerald Isle-inspired music, dancing, food, and festivities runs from noon to 5 p.m.
Sat., March 15, 10 a.m.-5 p.m., 2008
