Villa Macri hosts annual St. Patrick's Day party

SOUTH BEND, Ind. - If you're at the South Bend St. Patrick's Day parade Saturday, you won't be far from Villa Macri, where they're hosting their annual St. Patrick's Day party, where they expect around 1500 guests to show up.

A tent is set up in the parking lot where they'll be offering food, beverages, and live music.

Doors open at 4 p.m. on Saturday, with live music beginning at 5p.m.

For folks bringing their appetite, expect a generous dinner complete with slow roasted corn beef served with the Irish classic, cabbage, carrots, and potatoes.

Gerard Macri, Executive Chef at Villa Macri stated, "It's the best feeling. I mean, that's why, you know, we do what we do every day. It's not an easy job. But it's so rewarding to bring people here for anniversaries, birthdays, holidays, like St. Patrick's Day, just to know that we're putting out our best and people are receiving that and loving it is just the best feeling ever for sure."

Organizers tell ABC57 the food is first come first served so get there before they run out.

The live music plays until 11 p.m.

You must be 21 or older to attend.
