Get Your Irish Up - St. Patrick’s Day on Saturday expected to bring in lots of green

Irish entertainment offerings are a plenty this St. Patrick's Day

In recent years they have begun a brilliant new tradition of distributing free books by Irish and Irish American authors to the grateful public during their annual book day celebration -- and on Friday, March 16 they’ll do it again. To date they’ve distributed over 10,000 books to passing New Yorkers, and to find out where to pick one up sign up for their Twitter account (#IACBookDay) and Facebook Page updates.

For younger St. Patrick’s Day fans there’s there annual open day at the center which will be held on Sunday, March 18 from noon until 5 p.m.

Join other young folk for an afternoon of authentic Irish music, dance, song, language and crafts, or simply sit back and enjoy the variety of performances and activities taking place throughout the day. It promises be fun for the whole family, which may be a welcome change of pace from some of the shenanigans you’ll witness around Fifth Avenue.
