See the McDade Dancers on Sunday, March 22.
We know what you’re thinking. After St. Patrick’s Day “do I have to be Irish this week?” No, you don’t, but if you want to, there’s plenty of ways. Let us count them:
Up in Lehigh County, they’re celebrating St. Paddy’s Day for the first time. On Saturday you can attend the “Best Legs in a Kilt” contest at Jack Callahan’s Pub in Allentown, take a pub crawl , then on Sunday attend the Allentown St. Patrick’s Day Parade.
They’re also having their parade in Gilbertsville, Schuykill County, this weekend.
The hot Irish group The Saw Doctors will be performing at the TLA on South Street on Saturday night. See our story on their New York gig.
On Sunday, there’s music and dancing on tap. The McDade Irish dancers will be performing two shows at Archbishop Prendergast which will be your opportunity to see the kids who will be competing at the World Irish Dance Championships in Philadelphia in April. There’s a St. Patrick’s Ceili-Set Dance in New Castle, DE, and Coyote Run will be on stage at the Sellersville Theatre.
If you missed Tony Kenny’s Celtic Nights, which appeared at various venues this season, you can catch the show at the Upper Darby Performing Arts Center in Drexel Hill on Tuesday night.
We’re gearing up for the Scottish girl group, GiveWay, which is coming to the Irish Center next weekend. We’re hoping to see a lot of you there. Come up and introduce yourself.
Don’t forget the Frank McCourt play which is heading into the home stretch at The Kimmel, and the farewell performance of “Riverdance,” with several of the original dancers, coming in a week. (They’re offering a 15% discount so you have to go!)
