New Year’s Eve at the Irish Center.
We hope your Christmas was merry indeed. This week, we’re looking at New Year’s Jigging Eve. There’s the annual New Year’s Eve party at the Irish Center, with the Vince Gallagher Band—if you know them, you know that means dancing!
There’s also a New Year’s Eve party at Marty Magee’s Pub in Prospect Park .
But you can get your Irish on before that at Paddy Whacks Pub on Welsh Road where the Shantys are playing on Saturday, with special guest, Bob Hurst from the Bogside Rogues.
“Outside Mullingar,” the play by Pultizer Prize-winning playwright John Patrick Shanley, continues at the Suzanne Roberts Theater in Philadelphia, to rave reviews.
Next weekend, (Sunday, January 4) the Irish Heritage Day phenomenon—all the sports teams seem to be having them—takes over the Temple-UCF basketball game at the Liacouras Center in the city. There will be Irish food and drink and special discounts for Irish groups (who can also get an on-court experience). Check our calendar for more details, including who to call.
And on January 5, celebrate “Little Christmas” at the Irish Center with the Irish Immigration Center—lunch, music, camaraderie.
And it’s how many days till St. Patrick’s Day 2015?
