The Halfway to St. Patty’s Day Bash will offer an open bar with green beer and Jell-O shots, plus a jambalaya dinner and a screening of the Saints game.
When it comes to holidays in Baton Rouge, few are rowdier or more iconic than the Wearin’ of the Green St. Patrick’s Day Parade. Seas of green-clad locals mob Garden District streets and Perkins Road, while parties spring up on every corner to celebrate the much-awaited day.
A friendly feud between two of these dueling parties has led to the creation of the Halfway Krewe and their festive truce: the Halfway to St. Patty’s Day Bash.
Slated for Sunday, Sept. 13, the bash began as a way for Emergent Method vice president John Snow and director of training Julie Laperouse to combine their annual competing parties. Now, it’s grown into an event with a cause.
