You won’t find any green beer at this St. Paddy’s party

It’s rare that you might call a St. Paddy’s party a “refined” affair, but relatively speaking, that’s the goings-on at McGonigel’s Mucky Duck St. Patrick’s Day Celebration. Don’t worry: There will be plenty of drinking, but the emphasis is on cultural history and Irish music. Emcee Jim Mackenzie will shepherd the crowd through a full day of performances from the Irish Session Players, the Irish Gypsies, local step dancers, Clandestine (a fusion of modern rock and classic Celtic), -Wyndnwyre and performance artist Santry Rush.
