Celebrate all that is Irish at the Center’s annual St. Patrick’s Day celebrations this March 2015 at the IAHC. These parties are among Chicago’s largest, and this year, we expect more than 10,000 attendees to visit the IAHC in the month of March.
What makes these celebrations different than the many that Chicago holds is that the live music, dance, food and activities all take place under one roof.
On Saturday, March 14, the Center holds its St. Patrick’s Festival following the downtown Chicago St. Patrick’s Day Parade. This large-scale, family-oriented annual event includes traditional and contemporary Irish music, dance, food, children’s activities and an Arts and Craft Fair, with vendors selling Irish gifts. Visit the Art Gallery, Library and Museum for programming and exhibits.
The festivities begin at 1pm and end at midnight with live entertainment by Chicago Irish music groups and performers on tour from Ireland. Attendees can park near the IAHC or be directed to a remote lot and take a shuttle bus 3 blocks to the IAHC that runs all from 2pm to midnight. For a $5 donation, attendees can also park in the South Lot until the spaces are full.
Tickets are $15 for adults, or $12 for advance purchase if bought by the end of the day on March 12. Children 12 and under are free.
Come back for more fun with the St. Patrick’s Day Celebration on Tuesday, March 17. The day-long celebration in the Fifth Province includes music, dance and face painting for children. The party is from noon to 10pm and tickets are $10 and children 12 and under are free. There will be a mass at 11am.
Tickets go on sale on January 5, 2015 and can be purchased by clicking below, calling the IAHC office at 773-282-7035, ext. 10 or visiting the IAHC Office or Gift Shop.
