2015 "Manhattan Irish Fest"
March 6th & 7th - Manhattan, IL
Manhattan, IL is the place I'm proud to call my home. Anyone familiar with Manhattan, located smack in the heart of Will County, knows that it has deep Irish roots.
They'll also tell you that Manhattan is the home of the "Manhattan Irish Fest", a festival that's been running since 1995 and being held once again this year on March 6th & 7th.
Activities for young and old are planned for both days of the Fest. Some are:
An Irish Breakfast will be served at St. Joseph's Parish Center on Saturday, March 7th, 8 am to 10:30 am. Advance ticket purchase is required. Tickets are available at the church rectory by calling: 815.478.3341.
A special Mass is being held at St. Joseph's Catholic Church, located at 275 W. North Street , on Saturday, March 7th, at 8:30 a.m.
The 21st Annual "Manhattan Irish Fest Parade" will kick off at 11:10 am on Saturday, March 7th.
The Parade's preceded by a 5K Run (hosted by the Prairie State Roadrunners) starting at 11 am ... and which follows along the parade route. Info for those wanting to take part in the 5K Run can be obtained HERE.
