Today is St. Patrick’s Day and Harrisburg has a lot going on to mark the date. Perhaps in anticipation of the day, last week Harrisburg’s Art Association held its 2018 Bal Masque under the theme Celtic Ceilidh from 6pm-10pm in the Capital Room at the Harrisburg Midtown Arts Center.
Guests came dressed in kilts, tartans and other Celtic dress since there was a prize-giving costume parade. There was also entertainment provided by traditional Celtic musicians and dancers including those from the Carraig School of Irish Dance.
For those who missed the boat though, there is still a way to mark St. Patrick’s Day tomorrow at the annual parade. Organized by the Harrisburg Downtown Improvement District (for the 2nd consecutive year), events include: the Lucky Charm 5k/10k race, marching bands, pipe & drum bands Irish floats and much more.
