If you're looking for a pub experience like no other, head over to McNellie's in Midtown for their St. Patrick's Weekend Block Party. The celebrations will last all weekend long with traditional Irish fare, live music and great beer! The Jones Assembly is bringing back Paddy O'Party, an all day and night celebration on March 14. They'll have live music starting at the top ‘o the morning with green food and drink specials. 

The festivities continue on Tuesday, March 17, with Sham-ROCK the Gardens: St. Patrick's Day Celebration at the Myriad Gardens. Enjoy dance routines by the McTeggart Irish Dancers of OK and music from Flowers of Edinburgh and Raven’s Three. Hear the sound of classic bagpipe music as the Oklahoma Scottish Pipes and Drums make their grand entrance through the Gardens. In keeping with tradition, the lake will be safely dyed a bright shade of green. 

Iconic Sculpture Opening in Bricktown
