You don’t have to be Irish to enjoy all the fun that Long Island has for St. Patrick’s Day!
The fun is not only on St. Patrick’s Day because there is weeks of fun events, parades and so much more. See what ideas we have in our St. Patrick’s Guide for fun this year.
We love traditions and “DON’T JUST BE SILLY THIS ST. PATRICK’S DAY, BE SILLY McGILLY!”
“St. Patrick’s Day Fun for your Wee Little One” Silly McGilly is intended for families with young children between the ages of 3 and 9. Because on St. Patrick’s Day everyone is Irish and we are loving this adorable tale.
