Happy St. Patrick’s Day

Happy Saint Paddy’s Hon!

Baltimore has a large populous of Irish and wanna-be Irish.

Throughout March there are many “Irish” events planned some that happened this past weekend.

On Saturday there was the annual St Patrick’s Day Shamrock 5K Race followed by the Parade.

Next Saturday, there is the annual O’Malley’s March. Governor Martin O’Malley leads his Irish band in concert at the Recher Theatre (512 York Rd.) in Towson starting @ 8 pm. Note: Tickets are $20

Erin Go Bragh!

Erin go braugh is a phonetic version of “Éirinn go brách,” which in Irish (Gaelic) means “Ireland Forever.” It was an Irish blessing used used to express allegiance to Ireland.

This term is widely used and is associated with St. Patrick’s Day.

The leprechaun is an old Irish legend; they are like a spirit. Leprechauns are associated with St. Patrick’s Day because a leprechaun is an Irish symbol of good luck.

Baltimore, Maryland
The festivities of the St. Patrick’s Day Parade (since 1956) include a 5K race with a finish line at Power Plant Live! and a brunch (both on the day of the parade) plus numerous fundraisers in Baltimore’s Irish restaurants, leading up to the event.

Happy St. Patrick’s Day!
