The celebration follows the downtown Chicago St. Patrick’s Day Parade and runs from 1pm to midnight and features traditional and contemporary Irish music, dance, food and drink for purchase, children’s activities and an Arts and Craft Fair, with vendors selling Irish gifts. Visit the Library, Art Gallery and Museum for programming and exhibits, such as Irish language lessons, a genealogy workshop, and a book sale.

Attendees can park near the building or be directed to a remote lot and take a free shuttle to the IAHC from 2pm to midnight. Tickets are $15 for adults or $12 for advance purchase through March 12. Children 12 and under are free.
