Looking to extend your St. Patty's Celebration?

Barrington Celtic Fest is Thursday and Friday, March 17 and 18.

If you are feeling a little green that you won't have your fill of corned beef, cabbage and Guinness on St. Patrick's Day, then why not extend the holiday for an additional  day at the Barrington Celtic Fest?  The fest is being held from 10 a.m. to 1 a.m., on Thursday and Friday, March 17-18.

The Celtic Fest events will be held in a large heated outdoor tent set up on the 200 block of Park Avenue and also at McGonigal's Pub at 105 S. Cook St., Barrington. There will be live music, Irish dancers, Celtic merchants and plenty of food and beverages both at the outdoor venue and at the pub.

Admission to both the outdoor events and the pub are free.  Plus many food and beverage specials will be available at both locations, although come early as there will not be reserved seating available at the pub during the event.
