March 4th, 2011 by WLOY Staff

The month of March is now underway, and the jolliest holiday of the year is quickly approaching. That’s right, St. Patrick’s Day is almost here, but do not fret because Baltimore knows how to celebrate. Come on down to Canton’s own Claddagh Pub for the annual Meet in the Street St. Patrick’s Day celebration. On March 12th and 13th the city will shut down O’Donnell Street, allowing the celebration to freely flow into O’Donnell Square for fun and festivities. The restaurants of O’Donnell Square will be teaming up with the Claddagh to serve their greatest corned beef and cabbage. There will also be outdoor beer tents, live music, and tons of green.
