The iconic, popular event is a celebration of all things Irish, when it’s easy being green and if you aren’t wearing some, expect someone to reach out and pinch you
Festivities kicked off early downtown Murphysboro with a 5-K run-walk/run, an Irish Stew Cook-Off, tricycle races, with bags tournament and a kid s free fair filling the day.
