March is here! We can already feel the warmth in the air. We’ve had a few very mild days this week and feel very lucky to have gotten a taste of spring. Speaking of luck and springtime, the luck of the Irish is popping up everywhere.
Just in time for the Saint Patrick’s Day, there is the famous Yarmouth parade, an annual festive event that draws people from every corner of Cape Cod and beyond. Massachusetts is known for being a home-base for people of Irish descent and Cape Cod is no different. We’ve got Irish Pubs all over, from The Claddagh in West Harwich to Liam McGuire’s in Falmouth and everywhere in between.
Looking for a true Irish breakfast? The Keltic Kitchen in Yarmouth has got you covered. You don’t even have to have that Celtic blood running through you, everyone is Irish on St. Patrick’s Day! The St. Patrick’s Day parade in Yarmouth takes place this Saturday March 5, 2016 at 11am. Be sure to arrive early as this event does draw in the masses of lads and lasses.

Cape Cod is full of all kinds of unique attractions and
out-of-the-box things to do. Have you ever been to the Edward Gorey House, home
of the famous off-beat children’s book illustrator? How about the oldest home
on Cape Cod – The Hoxie House in Sandwich? Word on the street is that a pirate
museum may be opening at the site of the old ZooQuarium in Yarmouth.
Scargo Tower is a sight to behold, located in Dennis, this 1901 cobblestone
tower offers breathtaking vistas from the highest point in the mid-Cape area
and is free to visit. How about gazing up at a 150 year old weeping beech tree,
feel transported to a mythical place beneath the branches of this historic
giant in Yarmouth Port.
