Get ready to enjoy live music performances this week with two opportunities to catch music by Celtic band The Divines, or hear local musician Tom Norton play in St. Clair. There are also two comedy nights happening in the area, one at Triple 3 Vineyard that’s ticketed, as well as a free comedy night at The Outfield in Marthasville. Other events this week include craft and DIY events, trivia nights, mouse race fundraisers, and much more!
And Irish eyes are smiling this week, as the area prepares for St. Patrick’s Day celebrations this weekend. There’s St. Paddy’s Day trivia, parades, scavenger hunts, and more included in this post, but keep an eye out for a special roundup post on the various St. Patrick’s Day celebrations happening in Franklin County and neighboring communities. That post will release on Thursday, giving you plenty of time to plan your weekend, and if you still can’t get enough of the holiday shenanigans, this post outlines nine area establishments with St. Paddy’s Day drink menus.
Just a heads up – always double check with the event venue before heading out just in case events sell out or get rescheduled for some reason!
