How to Be Irish in Philly
How to Be Irish In Philly This Week
Take some time out from Christmas shopping on Saturday and join the band that puts the “happy” in “happy hour,” Blackthorn, at Tom & Jerry’s Sports Pub on MacDade Blvd. in Milmont Park. Or, if you’re in Delaware, catch Danny Quinn at Catherine Rooney’s Irish Pub in Wilmington, DE.
On Sunday, head over to the Irish Center where Tullamore Crew is whipping up an Irish repast starting at 5 PM.
Also on Sunday, give yourself a Christmas treat: Cherish the Ladies will be performing their Christmas show at the Annenberg Center for the Performing Arts in Philadelphia and Oisin MacDiarmada’s “Irish Christmas in America,” featuring Seamus Begley, is on stage at the Sellersville Theatre.
The Irish-American Genealogical Society of Delaware County is meeting on Tuesday afternoon at the Irish Immigration Center in Upper Darby.
Catch Barleyjuice at the Sellersville Theatre next Friday.
And on Saturday, stellar box player James Keane will be joining his nephew, local fiddler Paraic Keane, and singer-instrumentalist-producer Gabriel Donohue on stage at the Irish Center for a must-see concert.
Christmas follows just a few days later. Our year-round gift to you is our calendar. You’re free to post your events (just click on “Irish Events Listing” at the top of this page in the orange bar and follow the instructions) and we’ll write about your event the Friday before it happens, if not before.
