In addition to being one of the longer months of the year, March is always a busy month full of activities and celebrations. We welcome Spring, which brings longer, warmer days with lots of sunshine, March Madness basketball begins, spring break happens, Easter preparations begin and one of my favorite holidays comes around – St. Patrick’s Day! I have a bit of Irish heritage in my DNA so I do love a good St. Patty’s Day celebration.
We have gathered a list of fun ways to spend this festive holiday around the area with your family. Don’t forget to wear your green!
