Epicurean Calgary

St. Patrick's Day events 2012 will appear in early March 2012.

With St. Patrick's Day falling on a Thursday this year, expect events to be happening all weekend at most locations. The best places are those places with some tradition of St. Patricks Day, live entertainment and some sort of Irish pedigree, especially on the 17th. Here's a few suggestions. More to come....

Shamrock Hotel, 2101 11 St S.E.

It's been around since 1914- the original place in Calgary for St. Patrick's Day festivities. Always live entertainment, Irish Dancers, and more surprises. No website though.
