The streets of Kanab will spring to life with luck and magic for the first Shamrocks & Redrocks St. Patrick’s Day event! The three-day Irish festival kicks off on St. Patrick’s Day and continues through the weekend.
The celebration begins March 17 with street merchants, music, art, games, and culinary treats. A traditional Irish dinner of corned beef and cabbage, hosted by the United Church and Catholic Church at 39 W 200 S, will be offered for $10 a person or $25 for a family of four. For those feeling the luck of the Irish or just wanting to have a little fun, there will be bingo following the dinner. An evening parade will be followed by live music on Center Street.
Breakfast specials at several participating restaurants will be offered the morning of March 18 to get participants fueled up for the adventure ahead. A scavenger hunt to include hanging gardens, a pet walk, rappelling, and photography will take place. There will be golden tickets to be obtained during the scavenger hunt for spectacular prize giveaways. The Canyon to Canyon Art Walk, the Are You Feeling Lucky 5K, kids’ activities, dancing, music, food, and a beer garden at Sego Restaurant will follow into the evening.
Although the first two days are filled with luck and magic, the fun slated for March 19 is all about connecting with Irish roots. More scavenger hunting for a chance to find the golden tickets will keep everyone on the lookout for leprechauns and four-leaf clovers to increase their luck. The street fair and vendor market at Main Street Plaza will be an all-day affair offering something for everyone. As the day starts to wind down and evening begins to settle in, the amusement and entertainment launch into full-gear. A sensational costume party and high-energy concert will offer unforgettable memories for the best St. Patrick’s Day celebration of Southern Utah.
