Sunday is St. Patrick’s Day, and we have a handful of suggestions as to how to celebrate this weekend:
1. Irish food and beer top the list. If you’re a beer fan, head to your favorite pub (an Irish-themed one works well, of course) for some Guinness or Harp or another Irish favorite. You can also try some Irish food, or make your own at home. An easy dinner would be corned beef and cabbage and champ.
2. Many towns hold parades and other special events for St. Patrick’s Day, so check the newspaper for listings.
3. And if you want at-home entertainment, check out an Irish movie or book. Two good family-friendly movies are “The Secret of Kells” and “Ondine.” Others to consider are “Michael Collins,” “The Commitments,” “Angela’s Ashes,” “Waking Ned Devine” and “Into the West.” As far as books, there are plenty of works to consider, including books by James Joyce, W.B. Yeats, Tomie dePaola, Eoin Colfer and more.
Also happening this weekend:
4. Selection Sunday is this weekend, and that means the NCAA tournament is right around the corner. Conference tournaments will be taking place this weekend ahead of the bracket choosing, and on Sunday night you can start filling out your brackets.
5. The big movies opening in wide release this week are “The Incredible Burt Wonderstone,” a PG-13 comedy starring Steve Carell, Jim Carrey and Steve Buscemi; and “The Call,” an R thriller starring Halle Berry.
