Glen Arbor will host its annual St. Patrick’s Day Pub Crawl on Saturday, March 14, from noon-7 pm with visits to local establishments, including: M22 Glen Arbor, Glen Arbor Wines, Boondocks, Cherry Public House, and Art’s Tavern.

It’s a movie house. It’s a venue for concerts. It’s a gathering place for members of the community. It’s a working non-profit. The Bay Theatre in Suttons Bay is all of those. “This building has so much history,” says Graham Powers, executive director of the Bay Community Theatre Organization. Built in 1920, it originally served as a livery stable and fire station. It wasn’t until 1946 that it was transformed into a movie theatre. “There’s a great need for keeping these spaces alive,” says Powers. Alive and live, as in the theatre’s “Live at the Bay” series. On March 16, the Bay welcomes Kennedy’s Kitchen for its annual St. Patrick’s Day show. “It’s the fifth year for Kennedy’s Kitchen. It’s become one of our annual favorites. It’s a fun show,” Powers says.

A St. Patrick’s Day Pub Crawl today, March 17, begins at 1 pm. Kick off the afternoon by stopping at M22 Glen Arbor for Shamrock Sparkler, a festive wine drink special; at 2 pm, head over to Glen Arbor Wines for green wine and good times; at 3 pm stop at Boonedocks for complimentary snacks; at 4 pm visit Cherry Republic’s Pub House; at 5 pm the Pub Crawl ends at Art’s Tavern, for good times, great music, and green beer. Up M-22, the Little Traverse Inn hosts Rigs & Jeels from 4-7 pm in a concert to benefit the Empire Area Emergency Fund.

The Crystal River is a little green today but this is not an early St. Patrick’s Day celebration by our Chicago friends. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is treating the river to control the lamprey population.
