Irish Flag Raising & The Great Birmingham Irish Toast

Get ready to ring in St. Patrick’s Day with the Five Points Alliance (FPA) Thursday, March 14 at an Irish Flag Raising and then the Great Birmingham Irish Toast! Gather with the Five Points South community at the flagpole located at Chick-fil-A in Five Points at 5:30 p.m., as The Birmingham Irish Cultural Society leads the ceremony, including pipe and drum performances and an Irish blessing. Following the ceremony, there will be an Irish toast complete with Guinness beer and Tullamore Dew Irish whiskey at Brennan’s Irish Pub as FPA aims to gather the largest crowd yet for Birmingham’s largest St. Patrick’s toast! Those celebrating by purchasing a Guinness can have their pint glass etched that evening.

The St. Patrick’s Celebration continues with all-things Irish to include weeklong Irish food and drink specials from Five Point South restaurant bars, as well as events such as a St. Patrick’s Day parade and more. We’re encouraging all of Birmingham to throw on their green, raise a pint and celebrate St. Patrick’s Day with us!
