Shenanigans and Hooligans Celtic Festival

This September, Northshore's oldest Celtic organization presents the inaugural Shenanigans and Hooligans Celtic Festival, held on the grounds of the Ponchatoula Country Market. Wander through an array of Celtic and local vendors, and enjoy entertainment from Irish and Scottish bands, pipers, and more. Workshops will include Irish dancing, New Orleans Irish history, and Celtic folklore. Catch a cabbage at the Krewe of Erin walking parades, and take the kids to enter the Merida Kids Contest while you try your hand at the Marmalade and Scone cook offs—or even better, the Men in Kilts 80s Dance Off. 9 am–5 pm. Free. $5 for special seating. kreweoferin.org.
