Irish Night

Honor your Irish heritage on March 25 by listening to live music and watching step dancers perform. Three different bands will be performing at the event: The River’s Driver’s “Irish” Band, the Church Street Revival and Martin Kavanaugh and the Hard Road Travelers. There will be about fifteen dancers from the Devrin Academy at the Albert Music Hall that will make the show even more fun! The doors open at 6:00pm and the event starts at 7:30pm.

 

St. Patrick’s Day Skate

If your kids have been begging you to go roller skating recently, Friday night (the 17^th) is the time to go. The Branch Brook Park Roller Skating Center in Newark is celebrating the holiday with a St. Patrick’s Day Skate Party! With admission for everyone only being $1.00 and skate rental $4.00 is a great activity to do on a budget. Don’t forget to come dressed in your favorite green outfit!

 

Cook up Culture

Young Chefs Academy in Morganville is hosting a cooking class on March 17 from 6:30-8:30 pm for children that will feature a menu of Irish foods. Each child must be accompanied by an adult, so grab your kids and maybe come away with a new dinner staple! Be sure to make your reservation ahead of time if you are interested.
