5th Annual Irish Flag Raising on March 12 at 5:30 PM
Come on down to Five Points South on Thursday, March 12 to kick off the Birmingham St. Patrick’s Celebration of 2020! The festivities will begin with the 5th Annual Irish Flag Raising at 5:30 PM at the Chick-Fil-A flag pole and will be hosted by the Birmingham Irish Cultural Society. This is only the beginning of all things Irish to come, as Five Points South hosts the kick-off to St. Patrick’s Day festivities in Birmingham this week!
At the flag-raising, plan to hear from the parade day organizers, the announcement of the Parade Day Marshall and presentation of the Parade Sash, a bagpipe performance, and an Irish blessing from the local Irish community. Then, follow the crowd and the bagpipes down to Brennan’s Irish Pub for “The Great Birmingham Irish Toast.”
Raise a glass at the “Great Birmingham Irish Toast”
Brennan’s Irish Pub will have $5.00 Guinness pints and Tullamore Dew shots on hand for the “Great Birmingham Irish Toast” which will be led by the chair of the Birmingham Irish Cultural Society, Marty Connors from 6:00 PM to 7:30 PM.
When you buy a pint of Guinness, you get to keep a pint glass and have it engraved on the spot at The Guinness Engraving Event from 7:00 PM to 9:00 PM.
Live music starts at 7:30 and the full Brennan’s menu will be available for dinner!
