St. Patrick’s Day kicks off in Edgartown on Saturday, March 14, with the fourth annual St. Patrick’s Day Celebration, hosted by the Kelley House and The Newes from America.

All are welcome to join in the “leprechaun-size” St. Patrick’s Day Parade, beginning at 11 am on Dock Street and traveling down Main Street. The luck of the Irish will be felt throughout the Island, with children’s activities, Irish food and music, a special Family Dance-a-Rama following the parade, and more. Poets and wordsmiths feeling lucky with words can also submit a verse to the hotel’s Limerick Contest at social@scouthotels.com.
