3. Riverfront Irish Festival

The Buzz -- Everything Irish and it is not even St. Patrick's Day! Presenting three days of festivities including music, dance and delicious food, the St. Brendan division of the Ancient Order of Hibernians tries to make each year better than the last. It all begins with music on Friday night, then a 5-K run on Saturday and Mass on Sunday kick those days off to start. Best of all, it's free.
