What’s Happening in Los Angeles
LOS ANGELES PARADE
Deck yourself out in something green (T-shirt,
sneakers or maybe just face paint) on March 16 and trek over to Union
Station at 11:30 a.m. for L.A.'s own Saint Patrick's Day Parade.
The city proclaims the festivities promote
community spirit and civic pride among residents - and not consuming
large amounts of lager. Let's hope you catch a glimpse of a drunken
streaker!
THE SOUTH BAY ST. PATRICK'S DAY PARADE AND FESTIVAL
Though the parade goes down Saturday, March 17
only, the festival continues through Sunday, March 18. Marching bands,
bagpipers, floats and dignitaries rev up at 11 a.m. for the parade at
Valley and Pier Avenues in Hermosa Beach. Afterwards, learn the Irish
jig or taste Irish Bangers at the international food court.
IRISH IMPORT SHOP
Stop by the shop at 738 Vine Street in L.A. and
pick up any and everything Irish. From soap, books and sweaters to the
perfect pint glasses, you'll be well prepared for the holiday. Extra
interesting is the food - from treacle to trifle! For more information,
call (323) 467-6714.
BANG A DRUM - HAND DRUM STORE
Bang an Irish drum. Always wanted to do this?
Cruise into Bang a Drum - Hand Drum Store at 1255 South La Brea and
play an Irish drum. The shop also sells specialty drums from Africa and
India, offers classes and seminars and will host your next party.
For more information, call (323) 936-3274.

adopted Irishmen,” this is a shoo-in for good times surrounded by
giddy Guinness drinkers.
THE FENIANS @ HOB ANAHEIM
On March 17, don't miss the Fenians at House of
Blues Anaheim. This is the last stop on their St. Pat's Tour, and
joining them for one night only is their old friend and band mate Tardu
Yegin on flute, sax and whistle. This will be their second show of the

Brothers Hops and Barley McManus host.
The line-up reads something like this: Tough Irish
