• We are excited to announce that the Shamrock Club of South Bend and the Michiana Scottish Association have joined forces creating the Michiana Celtic Society. Not only will the society host the St. Patrick’s Day Parade and the Celtic Festival and Highland Games each year, but we will also host Cetlic events throughout the year.

• The St. Patrick’s Day parade will be held on Saturday, March 15th at 11 AM. The parade will start at the corner of Francis and Eddy Street and will end at the East Race, where the river will be dyed green! Come out and join us for a wee bit of Irish fun! A family celebration will be held at St. Pat’s Church in South Bend directly following the parade. If you or your organization is interested in participating in the parade, please e-mail michianaceltic@comcast.net

• As a kickoff for the St. Patrick’s Day holiday, we will be holding fun events the weeks leading up to the big day. Events include the ‘Irish American Idol’ where contestants will try their best at singing some fun Irish songs. The final winner will receive a cash prize and be the co-grand marshall of the parade!
