With St Pat’s falling in March everyone is in an Irish kind of mood so it’s time to party. Here is a list of festivals that will take place in March. If you know of one we missed please let me know. The festivals must have music as a big component of the event in order for us to list them as that is what our readers are looking for. There are a few others listed on the 2011 Festival page that are smaller but just as much fun for local crowds.
