Area arts councils prepare for Celtic celebration

March is almost here, and that means it will soon be time to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day, with two local arts councils hosting holiday activities.

The Manalapan Arts Council will be doing its part by hosting its annual St. Patrick’s Day Party, while the Freehold Borough Arts Council will be presenting its 6th Annual FBAC St. Patrick’s Day Parade and After Party.

The Manalapan Arts Council will be having an evening that will include a buffet featuring corned beef and cabbage. There will be live music and dancing, and a bag piper will be entertaining the guests throughout the evening.

The parade in Freehold will go from the Freehold Borough Municipal Building to the Hall of Records. Outside the Hall of Records there will be brief entertainment on a stage. Afterwards, everyone is invited to the After Party at the Elks Lodge in Elk Point. Entertainment there will be the Pat Roddy Band. Guests may purchase Irish food, buy tickets for the 50/50 Raffle, and enter the Irish Bread Contest.

The MAC Party will be Saturday, March 11 at the Knob Hill Country Club, 1 Shinnecock Drive, Manalapan. It will run from 7:00 pm until 11:00 pm. The green event Flyers remind everyone to be sure to RSVP.
