Celtic Feis at New York-New York St. Patrick’s Day Party

About Celtic Feis at New York-New York

Celtic Feis is an event that showcases the energy of New York City’s Irish Heritage along with the excitement of Las Vegas. The event’s festivities typically kick off with a lively parade, featuring a traditional Irish pipe band leading the crowd on foot or by car through the hotel and casino, and out onto the Brooklyn Bridge, where guests will see stilt walkers, leprechauns, and live entertainment into the night. Guests will also get to enjoy traditional Irish fare from Nine Fine Irishmen, the hotel’s signature pub. A selection of traditional Irish dishes from Nine Fine Irishmen’s menu may include corned beef and cabbage, Irish bangers, and shepherd’s pie. The celebration will continue into the second day with the St. Baldrick Foundation’s annual head-shaving fundraiser on the Brooklyn Bridge, which helps raise millions of dollars for childhood cancer research, along with a variety of celebrity appearances and a second day of live music.

What to Expect at Celtic Feis

Expect a vibrant, high-energy atmosphere with a mix of tourists and locals decked out in their best green attire. Since the main festival takes place outdoors on the Brooklyn Bridge, be prepared for sun during the day and cooler breezes at night; a light jacket is a smart choice. Comfortable footwear is essential as you will likely be standing and dancing to the live bands throughout the afternoon and evening. To get the best spot for the parade, try to arrive at the hotel entrance near the bridge shortly before the scheduled start time.

Food and drinks are readily available at outdoor bars and food stations, so you won’t need to leave the bridge to refuel. If you plan on attending the St. Baldrick’s event on March 16th, bring your family, as this portion of the celebration is very kid-friendly and focused on community fundraising. For parking, use the New York-New York or Park MGM parking garages, but consider a ride-share since the Las Vegas Strip becomes extremely busy during St. Patrick’s Day weekend.
