Shamrock’n the Block

Looking for something to do after the St. Patrick's Day Parade downtown? On March 15, Old St. Patrick's Church hosts this all-day block party in West Loop featuring a heated beer tent, live music, pub fare, kids events, Irish dancing and plenty of other festivities fit for the city's most Irish holiday. Catch performances from acts like Whiskey Mick, Liam Durkin and One of the Girls while kids enjoy face painters and balloon animals. General admission tickets are $30, but the $60 all-inclusive tickets will score you food and drink as well (not available at door).
