For the 10th consecutive year, Fadó Irish Pub and Restaurant is celebrating St. Patrick’s Day with a week of food, drinks, music and more, March 6-17.

Check out the roster of events:

• 3-Course Guinness Beer Dinner: Sunday, March 6, 6 p.m. Chef John Kerr will pair great Irish beer with even better food, for $45 per person. Call (215) 893-9700 for reservations.

• St. Baldrick’s Fundraiser: Friday, March 11, 4 p.m. Shave your head and help find a cure for childhood cancer at this annual children’s cancer research charity event. Help Fadó meet their $1 million goal! Register online.

• “St. Practice Day” Outdoor Street Festival: Saturday, March 12, 10 a.m.-7 p.m. Locust Street will be closed between 15th and 16th for live Irish music, Irish food, Guinness and, of course, Irish whiskey.

• St. Patrick’s Day Parade: Sunday, March 13, 11 a.m. The official holiday parade kicks off at 16th and JFK Boulevard. After, Fadó will serve up a traditional Irish lunch along with pints of (what else?) Guinness.

• St. Patrick’s Day in Philadelphia: Thursday, March 17, starting at 8 a.m. Start the day with a pint and free pancakes, along with live music and traditional Irish dancers. All-day made-from-scratch kitchen specialties include the traditional Irish Boxty, Corned Beef and Cabbage, and Fish & Chips.

Fun fact: Fadó was originally designed and built in Ireland and then shipped to Philadelphia, and their Guinness comes straight from St. James Gate, Dublin, Ireland!
