Looking to catch a wave of green this St. Paddy's Day? The Town of Fountain Hills has you covered. Set to paint the town emerald on March 16, the Irish Fountain Fest beckons families to an all-day celebration, decked out with live performances, food trucks, and a beer garden. All the fuss is over the World-Famous Fountain, which will spout green water twice at 12:00 and 4:00 p.m, giving a whole new meaning to going green.
As reported by the official Fountain Hills website, the Irish festivities kick off at 11 a.m. sharp at Fountain Park. Folks can look to quickly fest themselves into a stupor with traditional Irish folk dancing, or by rocking out to the Traveler – a known Celtic rock band. With Frank Mackey to start, the Kilted Spirit Band, and the Mesa Caledonian Pipe & Drum Band queued up, they're promising quite the lineup for those keen to jig.
If you've got kids in tow, don't fret—the event features a dedicated zone for the little leprechauns, ensuring they aren't left in the lurch while adults can sip their brews at the Crescent Crown beer garden. With Irish eyes smiling down, the organizers, including REMAX Sun Properties and The Sonoran Lifestyle Team, are ready to dish out a thank you as big as the giant green geyser itself. It's not just about music and beer; they've promised more surprises to ensure everyone leaves with more Irish in them than when they arrived.
Ryan Preston from the Town of Fountain Hills has the insider scoop for those who might still have questions. In his own words given to the town's website, he encourages all to "Don't get caught down on your luck, ShamROCK the Hills at the Fountain Hills Irish Fountain Fest!" It's a pitch-perfect formula for a day out—sun, fun, and a whole lot of green. Just follow the sounds of the fiddle and the scent of shepherd's pie, and you'll find your pot of gold at the proverbial end of the rainbow—or in this case, at Fountain Park.
