The City of Shelbyville has announced the return of the "Greening" of the Public Square event for its second year.
This festive celebration of St. Patrick's Day promises fun for the whole family and will take place this Saturday at 4 p.m. at the Public Square’s Joseph Fountain.
Last year's inaugural event was a resounding success, drawing crowds despite the chilly weather. This year, attendees can look forward to warmer temperatures in the 60s, adding to the cheerful atmosphere of the occasion.
The event will kick off with the official proclamation from Mayor Scott Furgeson. Attendees will have the opportunity to participate in the beloved custom of tossing gold coins into the fountain, making wishes for the year ahead.
Specialty gold coins will be provided for this enchanting ritual.
Adding to the festivities, historic downtown restaurants and pubs will be offering an array of Irish-inspired food and drinks. Whether you're craving traditional Irish fare or thirsting for a pint of green beer, there will be something to satisfy every palate.
"We are excited to once again host the 'Greening' of the Public Square event and invite the community to join us for this recent tradition," said Furgeson. "It's a wonderful opportunity for families and friends to come together, enjoy the vibrant atmosphere of our city, and create lasting memories."
Attendees are encouraged to wear green attire and immerse themselves in the spirit of St. Patrick's Day. From festive decorations to lively music, the event promises to be a memorable experience for all.
