Fiddles and whiskey take center stage at the second annual Sláinte festival, a three-day event focused on the music and traditions of the Emerald Isle!

With several bands from Ireland, Scotland, the Lehigh Valley and beyond, along with traditional food and whiskey pairings supervised by Neville Gardner and his team at Red Stag, Sláinte will be an immersive experience taking the usual St. Patrick’s Day festivities to the next level.
