Best Places to Celebrate St. Patrick’s Day in Snellville

Maybe you aren't as Irish as St. Patrick himself (who was kidnapped and sent to Ireland as a slave, escaped in 409 and returned to Ireland in 432, believing he had been called upon to spread the word of God) but on March 17, everyone's a little Irish.

So, check out these local St. Patrick's Day events and celebrations.

Gary's Bistro

Starting on Friday at lunchtime, Gary's Bistro is hosting a raffle for an iPad, along with a few other prizes. They'll also have drink specials and Irish menu items throughout the weekend.

Casino Night

The Community Garden at Snellville, Snellville Tourism and Trade and the Gwinnett Sunrise Rotary are hosting a Casino Night on March 16! Proceeds will benefit the community garden. 

Spring Green Festival

2013 will mark the third annual Spring Green Festival in Lawrenceville. Stay for the races, food, kids activities and local musicians. Proceeds will benefit a local charity. 

Chick-Fil-A (2932 Main Street West)

Green ice cream and lemonade! Not really an event, but still, what child (or child at heart) wouldn't like some green ice cream?

Wild Wing Cafe

Snellville resident Susan Chappelear informed us in the comments section that there will be a benefit today (March 15) through Sunday to raise funds for the Snellville Police K-9s. A bake sale and silent auction will take place on Saturday, and the cafe will have other St. Patty's day specials.
