Join us for a festive St. Patrick’s Day celebration in Downtown Waxhaw! We’re painting the town green with traditional Irish music, dance, cuisine, and family-friendly activities.
The Downtown Waxhaw Association, Mary O’Neill’s Irish Pub, and Jekyll & Hyde Taphouse & Grill have partnered to create a safe, enjoyable experience for all ages.
This celebration serves as both festive event and historical tribute to Waxhaw’s rich Irish heritage, which dates back to the mid-1700s when Scots-Irish settlers first arrived via the Great Wagon Road.
