The Irish American Heritage Center hosts the biggest St. Pat’s Day party in the city with authentic Irish musicians, dance troupes, kids activities, Irish gift vendors, food and drink in a fun-filled Erin extravaganza.
This family-friendly event presents non-stop activities after the excitement of viewing Chicago’s three St. Patrick’s parades. Whether you see the legendary St. Patrick’s Day Parade downtown, the Northwestside Irish St. Patrick’s Day Parade or the Southside Irish Parade, head to the center for more Celtic festivities.
Snag $15 early bird tickets for March 15 in advance, admission is $20 on the day of the party. Tickets are $10 for the March 17 celebrations. Children under 12 receive free admission.
