st. patrick's day

Safety protocols needed still as we battle COVID-19 proved to be too much for organizers trying to still make the parade happen this year.

Some of the big annual events have been cancelled, while others have been postponed or are still to come.

This is the final weekend for Laughfest and it’s also St. Patrick’s Day on Sunday. There are a lot of sport related events, we have a Neuroscience Fair and classes about plumbing! We also go back to music from the 90’s for a couple different events.

Krispy Kreme is going green!

By now we should all be using Uber, Lyft or friends to get home after celebrating, but here it is in case you need it, more of a reason not to drink and drive this weekend.

Laughfest wraps up this weekend. It is also St. Patrick’s Day on Saturday. There is hockey and basketball, fishing and boating. On stage it’s Peter and the Wolf, Pink and more! Plus a free day at the museum.

We’ve all heard there was a saint and something to do with snakes in Ireland and now we have parades and drink green beer. But what do we really know about St. Patrick’s Day?

On St. Patrick's Day, WGRD and Channel 95.7 teamed up to host the World's Least Organized Tiny St. Patrick's Day parade. No agenda other than getting out of work for a couple hours for the holiday and having a few drinks. It's a Friday, and St. Patrick's Day!

Everyone has a great time on St. Patrick's Day, celebrating the great Irish Saint who brought Christianity to Ireland, kicked out the poor, legless snakes, and used a shamrock to teach about the Holy Trinity. Also, leprechauns are super important for the day, and everything is supposed to be green. Or is it?

Friday is St. Patrick's Day, and we all want to take the day off. Most of us can't, but maybe we can swing a half-day! So join me and Janna at 2pm here in the WGRD parking lot, and we'll all go have a green beer to celebrate St. Patrick's Day!

Wallethub does a lot of studies on cities and they always have Grand Rapids scored well in their results, which we love. They've done another study on the best cities for celebrating St. Patrick's Day, and guess what? We're in the top 20! Because we're awesome!

With a little over a week until St. Patrick's Day, what sort of shenanigans do you have planned? Well, according to Candystore.com, Michigan really knows how to get its Irish on. They've deemed Michigan one of the rowdiest St. Patrick's Day states in the U.S.
