In SPOTLIGHT 219 Ep #005 - Featuring Miranda O'Block and Mark Pishkur, we delve into the exciting St. Patrick's Day festivities happening in Crown Point this weekend, highlighting the heartwarming local events that bring the community together.
Community and Charity: A Celebration with Purpose
This year's edition of the bar crawl also comes with a heartwarming twist. A portion of the proceeds from the specially crafted cocktails will be donated, benefiting two noteworthy causes: the Pipes and Drums of Lake County Sheriff's Department and For the Love of Ireland, a local organization dedicated to promoting Irish dance. It’s a fantastic opportunity for attendees to enjoy themselves while supporting local initiatives. Miranda O’Block from Tavern on Main highlights how these events foster a sense of belonging and community through shared experiences and philanthropy, reinforcing the idea that good times can also have a significant positive impact.
Crown Point's Unique Nighttime Parade
Mark Pishkur shared his enthusiasm for Crown Point's St. Patrick's Day celebration, particularly its unique nighttime parade. Mark emphasized that it's a rare gem in the region, where festivities kick off as twilight descends, illuminating the streets with festive lights and joyful decorations. This year’s parade promises to dazzle, with over 20 vendors lining the route, offering everything from delicious food to vibrant crafts. The parade starts at dusk along the well-lit streets of Crown Point, ensuring that the community comes alive with Irish pride.
Tips for Enjoying the Festivities
With so much happening around Crown Point, planning ahead is key. It’s advisable for parade-goers to arrive early to secure good parking, especially as roads will be closed to accommodate the festivities. As detailed by Mark, checking the official Crown Point website will provide maps and parking information essential for enjoying the day without hassle. Additionally, for those who indulge in the bar crawl, popular local dishes like corn beef and cabbage will undoubtedly be available, adding to the authentic St. Patrick's Day experience.
