Museum Celebrates Irish Heritage Day with Music, Dance and More


DOVER—
The Children’s Museum of New Hampshire will celebrate its second annual Irish Heritage Day on Sunday, March 20 from 12 – 5 pm. This family-friendly event comes on the heels of St. Patrick’s Day and highlights the vibrant Irish heritage of the Greater Dover community.
Irish Heritage Day will feature traditional live music and step-dancing performances throughout the afternoon, and children are invited to try their hand at traditional Irish crafts with free make-and-take activities. There will be other opportunities around the museum to learn about the culture of the Emerald Isles as well.
Regular museum admission applies for all Irish Heritage Day festivities: $8 for children and adults, $7 for adults age 65 and over, and there is no charge for museum members or children under 12 months old.
