​​Buffalo is a fantastic party town, and the upcoming "Irish Holidays" in Buffalo's legendary Old First Ward always seem to score at the top.  We love being involved in these festivities.  Mark your calendars NOW & join us:

Post-Shamrock Run IRISH HOOLEY
on Saturday, March 2nd at The Barrel Factory
featuring Emerald Isle Band LIVE at 2 PM!
Doors OPEN at 10 AM!

                                                                                          Sponsored by the Old First Ward Community Association and Center, the 2019 Shamrock Run will be held on Saturday, March 2nd at 12:00 noon.  Last year, 5,000 enthusiastic runners participated in the 40th annual 8K event.  A similar number of well-wishers and cheerleaders come along.  Don't worry about the weather too much.  We've seen them run in snow, cold, rain, and even sun!

The Shamrock Run passes by The Barrel Factory/Lakeward Spirits on Hamburg St. at Republic St. between Gene McCarthy's and us.  We'll have a festive Irish Hooley after the race featuring Emerald Isle Band LIVE starting at 2 PM in the Lakeward Spirits Event Center.  Doors open at 10 AM at The Barrel Factory!

See www.BuffaloShamrockRun.com for more information on this great annual race in the city's Old First Ward neighborhood that's MEGA FUN.  Sign up for the race now!

​The 26th annual "Old Neighborhood" St. Patrick's Day Parade will be held on Saturday, March 16th at 12:00 noon.  The epic parade, featuring over 100 groups and floats, marches through The Valley & Old First Ward neighborhoods!

The parade passes by The Barrel Factory/Lakeward Spirits on Hamburg St. at Republic St. between Gene McCarthy's and us.  Some of our guests watch the parade from Lakeward Spirits' upstairs terrace while most watch it nearby along the parade route. 

Our Irish Hooley in the Lakeward Spirits Event Center after the parade will be kicked-off by the award-winning, 40-piece Greater Buffalo Firefighters Pipe and Drums at around 2 PM and will feature music by Finnegan's Punch for the rest of the afternoon.  Doors open at 10 AM at The Barrel Factory!

The Old Neighborhood Parade, sponsored by Valley Community Center, will have parade updates posted on their website and Facebook page.  Plan on participating in this wonderful event!

Who wants this FUN to end?  We're glad that the official St. Patrick's Day this year is on a Sunday when more folks will be able to take part in another celebration.  Plus, parade-goers from the Delaware Avenue parade will be able to join us after the parade!

I was wondering if you had any artisans at your festival. I have many types of shamrocks and 4 leaf clovers. Lots of different shades of green earrings and more. All hand made of stained glass. Let me know if interested. Thank you, Carl.
