Sorry it took so long to get these up, but we had to cut them down in size, and figure out the editing program. Enjoy.

Bringing the community together in a fun sociable setting has a lot of great benefits, and wouldn't it be nice if Chester were known for this sort of thing? Let's help build our small town community atmosphere and support events like this.
Who else would be willing to work together to do more activities like this one and to help build them bigger and better each time?

03/21/2022

What holiday or other events would you like to see in Chester? We're working on putting together a group to bring events to Chester like this one and we'd love to get everyone's feedback. Please message or comment and we'll discuss it. Thank you.

There was one kid who drew an outstanding Leprechaun for Mr. O'Malley at the event center, but he left before we could give him his pot o' gold coins. If someone knows him please let us know and we'll arrange for him to get his prize. Thank you.

Who was the real St. Patrick? Was that legend about the snakes true? And why did so many St. Patrick's Day traditions start in America?

Only eight days left for Chili cookoff competitors, Corn Hole Teams, Vendors, and banner spaces to be reserved. You may still be able to enter contests the day of the Event, but if you want a guaranteed slot please refer to the flyers for POC information and the schedule. I would especially suggest restaurants enter the Chili Cookoff. If you have confidence in your cooking abilities then here's your chance to be able to display this trophy and to be able to post a banner saying, 2022 Chester Chili Cookoff Champions!!!!!!!! Now that's some great Advertisement right there. Thank you.

We are tremendously happy and proud to have the Fiddler and the Flutist at the Chester St. Patrick's Day Festival 19 March. The event runs from noon until 7pm, with these two fantastic performers putting on their show from 5pm until 7pm.

Sorry about some of the confusion, but I had a typo on a few posts from doing a copy paste. The event is 19 March from noon until 7pm per the flyer. We still have room for some vendor tables, banners, chili cookoff participants, and Corn Hole teams. Thank you.

We still have some tables and banner space available, as well as some slots for competing in the Chili Cookoff. I'd especially recommend local restaurants to throw in on the chili cookoff. I know I'd love to throw up a banner saying 2021 CHESTER CHILI COOKOFF CHAMPIONS, if I owned a restaurant, and put that trophy right inside where it can be seen.

Please spread the word! 19 March from noon until 7pm at 125 Main St, the Chester Event Center, we will be having our first annual St. Patrick's Day Festival!

Please see the flyer for POC and event information. Thank you and we hope to see you, your family, and all your friends there.

We are working to expand and create more festivals for Chester, to build this and other ones, to bring the community together in a fun way, to help local businesses, and to bring a positive atmosphere and opinion about Chester to everyone, but we need your help. We need the support of the community to make this and other events successful, so that they can get bigger and better. Please like this page, share this and other posts, talk to friends and family members, even strangers about this and other events. We have over 8200 people we've reached so far, not including posts and flyers not directly linked to this page, but still a lot of people in Chester don't know about this event. The more we have to put into marketing, the less we have for activities and entertainment. So please help us spread the word. Thank you and we hope to see you 19 March at 125 Main St, the Chester Event Center from noon until 7pm for this celebration of peace and togetherness. Entertainment, food, beverages, corn hole tournament, chili cookoff, live entertainment from 5pm to 7pm, souvenirs, and more! We still have vendor tables for rent and banner display areas available. Please contact this page for more information and to help support this and other events, brought to you by CURES for Chester.

How many countries celebrate St Patrick's day?
The feast of the Irish saint on 17 March is being celebrated from Australia to Dubai to the United States. More than 400 landmarks in more than 50 countries turned emerald as part of Tourism Ireland's annual Global Greening initiative. Today, people of all backgrounds celebrate St. Patrick's Day, especially throughout the United States, Canada and Australia. Although North America is home to the largest productions, St. Patrick's Day is celebrated around the world in locations far from Ireland, including Japan, Singapore and Russia. St. Patrick's Day is historically observed through a number of traditions. These include preparing food like corned beef and cabbage, musical gatherings called "céilí," and decorating with symbols like shamrocks and leprechauns. Held on March 17, New York City's St. Patrick's Day parade is the oldest and largest in the world, with an estimated two million attending each year.
St. Paddy's day instead of st. Patrick's day, is often considered more historically correct due to St. Patrick's actual name, but not St. Patty as that's a lady's name. As its reach has widened, many are familiar with the nickname "St. Paddy's Day," where "Paddy" is the shortened form of Patrick, which itself comes from Pádraig. While the holiday is sometimes spelled "St. Patty's Day," some find this to be offensive as "Patty" is a shortened form of the female name "Patricia." Interesting little history lesson in this vid. Enjoy and we hope to see you 19 March at 125 Main St. noon through 7pm.

☘️Saint Patrick's Day ☘️is nearly here. But do you know what we celebrate on this day and why?☘️Happy Saint Patrick's Day - Lá Fhéile Pádraig sona duit ☘️

What I love most about St. Patrick's Day or St. Pádraig's day , is how it brings everyone together all around the world. The joy, the fun, and all that goes along with this special day is great to share with everyone! The most important part of this day is, for me, everyone coming together and having a good time, and showing joy and gratitude for those that came before us with a message of peace.

We're at 111 follows right now. As of now we have about 200 more engagements from advertisements outside of Chester County, than we do people in Chester supporting this. Now I'm all about people from outside of Chester coming here and having a good time, but people in Chester need to support things like this so that we can keep going with more events, and making each one bigger and better than the last. Please like and share. Get more people involved and help us bring life back to Chester, starting with the downtown area. Granted over 300 people during a seven hour day isn't bad for a Chester event, but we can do a lot better. Let's set a goal. Please invite all of your friends within a reasonable distance and let's try to at least match support for this event from people in Chester, with those outside of Chester County. Thank you. Together we can and will be successful, but we must work together. So can we work together to get at least 300 follows on this page? We should be able to handle over a thousand on the day of the event. We still have some time, but the sooner we get things moving the better.
