Paint the Town Green


Though the Irish mark St. Patrick’s Day every year on March 17, their spirit will be felt a bit earlier here in Munich when the annual celebration for Ireland’s patron saint hits the streets on Sunday, March 12. Put on by the Deutsch-Irischer Freundeskreis Bayern, the festivities kick off at noon at Münchner Freiheit with a parade marching in all its green glory down Leopold- and Ludwigstrasse to Odeonsplatz. The party lasts until 6 pm, with a Blessing of the Shamrock, two stages full of live music and dancing, food and, of course, Guinness! For more information, check out www.stpatricksday.de. The celebration continues with an explosive Irish dancing show packed with steps, stomps and sex appeal. Magic of the Dance lights up the stage at Gasteig at 8 pm that evening, featuring eight time world champion John Carey. For tickets, call Tel. 93 60 93.
