Lewisville is gearing up for an exciting celebration of St. Paddy's Texas Style, a unique fusion of Irish cheer and Lone Star pride scheduled for March 16th. The city is calling on residents to contribute their volunteer spirit to make this event a success, as per the City of Lewisville, Texas.
Set to take place from noon until 7 p.m. at Wayne Ferguson Plaza, this event promises to be more than just your average street fair; it's a family-friendly affair with activities catering to all ages. Volunteers will play a crucial role, undertaking diverse responsibilities ranging from managing carnival games to serving concessions. Interested individuals, aged 14 and above, are invited to visit the city's website and click on the purple "Volunteer" button to sign up for shifts.
This presents an excellent opportunity for adolescents to engage in community service and for anyone seeking to immerse themselves in the unique blend of Irish and Texan culture. The festivities will commence with a performance by the Maguire's Academy of Irish Dance students, followed by a lineup of acts that blur the line between Dublin and Dallas. Local talents such as The Kid Brothers, Skyland, and Heide Riggs from the renowned band Blaggards will grace the stage, offering an authentic experience of Irish music infused with rock influences.
Blaggards, led by Dublin native Patrick Devlin, epitomize the fusion of Irish folk rhythms with the resonating riffs reminiscent of rock legends like Johnny Cash and Black Sabbath. Their Stout Irish Rock vibe, evident in their raw sound files, promises to transport the audience to the heart of Irish pub culture.
Wayne Ferguson Plaza will transform into a melting pot of musical genres, where traditional Irish tunes may mingle with electrifying guitar solos.
To ensure attendees' convenience, free parking will be available at Lewisville City Hall, nearby public lots, and on the streets. These festivities are not only a tribute to St. Patrick and Texas' day of independence but also align with the "Old Town" initiative, a vital component of the Lewisville 2025 vision aimed at revitalizing downtown and fostering economic growth.
