True Irish folks are Irish every day, not just after five beers or only on March 17. And those in Kansas City support the KC Irish Center (30 West Pershing Road, the lower level of Union Station), which in turn provides social, cultural and artistic programs to its members and the public, like the second annual
Irish Winterfest, which features six musical acts and two local Irish dance companies as well as traditional food, tons of beer and whiskey, and plenty of craic between attendees. If you're one of the more than 250,000 metro-area residents claiming heritage — or not — put down $5 and hang out from 3 to 10 p.m. For more information, see
irishcenterkc.org.
