Saint-Patrick is a good time for a party, to be sure, but that’s not all it is. The day – which is actually spreading for most of March – offers enough time to celebrate the Irish heritage and learn more about Celtic culture.
Vermonters will have the chance to celebrate while learning and vice versa with these events which take place in the next two weeks. Most are presented under the auspices of the long time Burlington Irish Heritage Festival While others are offered by happy places to spread a little green tinted joy while we head towards a spring to tint a green. (All events are free, unless otherwise indicated.)
