A Taste of Ireland
Date: Saturday, March 13
Time: 6-9 pm
There is nothing more fitting of Loudoun County than celebrating St. Patty's Day with a little a wine and cheese pairing at Notaviva Vineyards. The wine's offered are not just from Notaviva, but also Fabbioli Cellars, North Gate Vineyards, and 8 Chains North. Enjoy the sounds of Irish music to brighten your spirits and the samples of Shepards Pie, fruit, bread and incredible Kerrygold cheese to delight your taste buds.

A Real Irish Meal
Irish cuisine doesn't get any more real than this unless you want to make a trip to Ireland itself. If you are craving Shepherd's Pie, Bangers and Mash, or Fish and Chips, then O'Faolains Irish Pub is where you'll want to go. If the wine tasting wasn't your style, then you might enjoy O'Faolin's Irish Whiskey Tasting on March 15th.

Celtic Marc Performance
Date: Saturday, March 13
Time: 8:00 pm
If you have never been to one of the Shenandoah Coffeehouse Series performances, now is the time to pay it a visit. Held at the beautiful and historic Unitarian Universalist Church near Leesburg, the Series has been bringing the community together to enjoy music and stories for almost 16 years. Specially for St. Patrick's Day, you can enjoy a live acoustic performance by the Celtic Marc. The group performs traditional Irish, Scottish and Welsh music - with a few modern twists thrown in for good measure.

An Irish Jig
Has your child always shown interest in Irish dancing? Or maybe they just love the idea of getting dolled up with a face of makeup and a head of ringlet curls. The Celtic Rhythm School of Dance offers something that appeal to kids more than the average Irish dance school - they teach both traditional Irish dances as well as more contemporary Irish dances. They perform at schools, hospitals and local events. This may be that unique activity that you've been looking to get your child involved in.

To end with a beautiful Irish saying, in your Loudoun home...

May you always have
Walls for the winds,
A roof for the rain,
Tea beside the fire,
Laughter to cheer you,
Those you love near you,
And all your heart might desire!
