Get ready for the ultimate St. Patrick’s Day celebration as Rusty Nickel Brewing and Ebenezer Ale House present the St. Patrick’s Day Music Fest on Saturday, March 14, from 1 pm to 10:30 pm.
Each year, this collaborative event draws more than 1,500 guests from across Western New York to enjoy live performances by four local bands, along with high-energy cultural showcases that celebrate Irish heritage within our community.
This year’s festival is raising the bar by adding Irish Punk Rock cover band, Gates of Steel, and Irish dancers from Harris-Grieco Academy. It will also welcome back another performance by the Greater Buffalo Firefighters Pipes & Drums.
Even though Buffalo may still be experiencing winter-type weather, this event is held inside a heated 4,800 sq ft party tent with additional space for VIP and beverage tents. The St. Patrick’s Day Music Fest is sure to be the perfect celebration filled with live music, food trucks,vendors, and plenty of Irish cheer.
“We’re excited to continue building this into one of Western New York’s signature St. Patrick’s Day celebrations,” said Katie Havens, general manager of Rusty Nickel Brewing.
