What’s up, Kansas City! It is officially St. Patrick’s Day weekend, so we have rounded up our longest list of weekend events to date to help you celebrate March 17th.
With multiple parades around town to enjoy with the family, bar crawls to drink up with friends, and plenty of restaurants serving up some variation of corned beef, there is something for everyone. But with such a strong Irish community in KC we’ve probably missed a few things, so if you know other places we should be this weekend please drop it in the comments and also be sure to let us know where we might run into you.
