Update: guess we were too excited about it. It’s NEXT weekend. Sorry for the confusion folks.
From The Church Hill Irish Festival page:
In addition to great entertainment, there will be plenty of family fun, including children’s games, face painting and Irish-themed crafts. Over thirty Irish vendors will be in attendance! Food and refreshments will also be available. Enjoy wonderful “Irish Surprise” (corned beef, cabbage & mashed potatoes) prepared by the Ladies of St. Patrick’s, “Fish and Chips” and other favorites provided by Rare Olde Times Irish Pub, Rosie Connolly’s and many more.
A huge children’s play area will be sponsored by the great folks from “LINC”.
Proceeds benefit the St. Baldrick’s Society and their fight against childhood cancer, the Church Hill Association, the Church Hill Crime Watch, Richmond Hill, Child Saver’s Clinic of Richmond, St. John’s Church, the St. Peter’s Meals Program, St. Francis Home, Stone’s Circle of Friends and many other neighborhood causes. Proceeds also benefit the historic preservation of St. Patrick’s Church, a “little church with a big heart” built in the 1850’s by Irish Immigrants to Richmond, and its outreach programs. A $5.00 donation will be collected at the gate.
Sponsored in part by Guinness & Harp Beer and our friends at Loveland Distributing.

This is confusing pretty sure this is the weekend of the 24th not this weekend. May want to amend.
next weekend. March 24 and 25
To clarify, Irish festival is March 24-25th. The date is not on this page but you can see more info if you clock through the link.
Next weekend you mean?
Yup, next weekend.
Not this weekend!
Thanks neighbors! We were either living in the future or were too excited about it. But it’s fixed!
You got us excited too thinking we scored two Irish fests this year
Wouldn’t that be fun! ?
