Proper St. Patrick's Celebration

 
Sunday, March 17th
 
Time: 12pm – 10pm
 
Get ready to shamrock and roll at the most epic St. Patrick’s Day event in South Florida. Brought to you by The City of Boca Raton and the team behind Sunset Tequila Festival, this event is not just a celebration; it’s a Proper St Patrick’s Day extravaganza celebrating Irish heritage. Best of all, it’s open to all ages and FREE to attend.
 
Entertainment will be non-stop, featuring Spred the Dub, the Adam David band, Y100’s DJ GQ, traditional Irish dancers kicking up their heels, the soul-stirring tunes of a bagpipe crew, a craft market, cornhole, and ax throwing. Kids can enjoy face painting, a bounce house, and an obstacle course.
 
Turn up the party with specialty craft cocktails from Jameson, pints of Guinness, and a full bar stocked with Irish whiskies, liquor, and brews available at multiple stations throughout the amphitheater. A “dry bar” will offer Guinness 0.0 and mocktails so guests can enjoy their favorite beverages without the alcohol. Various food trucks will be on hand, serving up delightful bites ranging from classic Irish fare like corned beef sandwiches and bangers & mash to pizza, burgers, tacos, ice cream, and more.
 
For an elevated experience, purchase a ticket for the Tasting Tent offering pours from over a dozen Irish whisky and spirits brands. Limited tickets are available at $75 per person (21+).
