FUTURE KANSAS CITY IRISH EVENTS
Please note that Irish-related events after St Patrick’s Day will continue to be posted on the regular Kansas City Irish Events Calendar.
The Events Calendar will probably suffer while we all concentrate on the annual Paddy’s Day madness, but very quickly it will revert to showing a schedule of events up to 2 months ahead.
In short, if it’s Irish and moves - or pretends to be (Irish or moving) you’ll find it here on Irish KC, but first, let’s get Paddy’s Day out of the way.
