The fun continues on Saturday March 18th, for our (21+) St. Patties Day Drinking Party. Deck yourselves out in green and accessorize with the free swag we’re giving to the first 100 people through the gate! Roam our venue and check out the beer festival in our main tent where we will have sampling from 40+ breweries or check out the 2 different live music sets we will have playing from 12:30pm-7:30pm. If you want to make an unforgettable photo memory happen with your friends, participate in our celebratory green streamer throw at 4pm. Think JMU football games but green.

You can try your luck at guessing how many four leaf clovers are in the boot mug at the center of our venue and the closest guess gets a gift card. When you get hungry we will have your favorite Irish dishes hot and ready at unbeatable prices; then wash it down with our drink and shot specials! We will have a green eggs and green beer promo running all day. There will also be different leprechaun faces taped up around the venue and if you see one, post it on your story and mention our @shipgarten Instagram.

To round out the weekend of festivities we have our Kids Festival on March 19th from 1-6pm hosted by Merida, Darth Vader & Princess Tiana! Character performances will start around 3:15pm and you will certainly recognize Merida by her flaming red hair and Scottish accent. Merida will also be performing a bow demonstration for the kids and they can even release a suction cup, ended arrow into the sky! Tell your little ones that there is a pot of gold hidden somewhere on our venue and if they find it, they get a special prize. There will also be a scavenger hunt for them to enjoy and if they complete it they will get a gift bag. We will have a craft table on site for them to make some fun Irish art or they can get a four leaf clover painted on their face at our face painting table. Let them let loose in our two moon bounces or watch them climb to new heights on our jungle gym. If your dog is your child, no worries there! Our whole venue is dog friendly and we even have a fenced in dog park for them to play in.
