Go green with Cincinnati’s Celtic Festival, an event catered to the Irish in all of us. Celebrate the Saint Patty’s Day halfway mark with authentic Celtic music, dancing and dining. The festival starts Saturday at noon on Fountain Square.

Live musical performances will highlight different Celtic sounds and instruments (Irish bagpipes anyone?). Dancing and crafts will be on display throughout the weekend, and Guinness is on tap! Though the event is free, ATMs will be available if you’d like to sample the Irish culture.

The festival is presented by the Friendly Sons of St. Patrick Foundation, a nonprofit, charitable organization. Their mission is to promote education, provide scholarships and advance the Irish culture in Greater Cincinnati.

Noon-11 p.m. Saturday and noon-9 p.m. Sunday at Fountain Square, Fifth and Vine streets, Downtown.
