St Patricks Day Specials

St. Patrick's Day -

We're celebrating it all weekend (Thursday through Sunday)

The Irish are a big part of New Orleans history. An early wave of Irish immigrants, fleeing British persecution at the end of the 1700s, landed in New Orleans and became well integrated into the economy and social life of the city. The first St. Patrick's Day celebration was held in 1809.

Immigrants from Ireland started arriving in significant numbers as famine began to drive them out of their homeland in the 1820s, a famine which peaked in the 1840s. Living conditions for the thousands of Irish immigrants once they arrived in New Orleans were also far from ideal.The Irish laborers found hard work digging the canals, where thousands died because of the poor living conditions and disease.

The Irish founded many well known churches, and of course a number of terrific Irish Pubs.

Pat O'Brien's (with the flaming fountain in the courtyard) invented the Hurricane cocktail, a New Orleans classic. St. Patrick's Day is celebrated with enthusiasm in New Orleans!

Irish heritage figures prominently in Fitchburg's history and settlement as well. Many descendants of those first families can still be found in Fitchburg...the Kinneys, Gormans, Lacys, O'Briens, Foxs, Purcells, and Barrys.

We can't get enough of St. Patrick's Day! We've just got to get started on Thursday night, and we'll keep things really moving all weekend, including our Saturday Late Night and beyond.
