ALPHARETTA, GA -- In celebration of St. Patrick’s Day, Avalon invites residents to don their best green attire and party in the Plaza for the annual Luck of Avalon event on Thursday, March 17.

The revelry begins at 4 p.m. with children’s activities, including face painting and a candy bar. The Plaza will be bustling with St. Patrick’s Day festivities throughout the afternoon and evening, including live music, Irish bagpipers, a photobooth and festive green beer.

St. Paddy’s themed libations will be served up in the Plaza and, because Avalon is an open-container community, guests can take their drinks with them as they shop, dine and enjoy the live entertainment.

“In 2015, Luck of Avalon attracted over 8,000 green-clad merrymakers and we expect this year’s St. Patrick’s Day celebration to be even bigger,” said Liz Gillespie, vice president of marketing for North American Properties. “We pride ourselves on being North Fulton’s go-to place to celebrate the holidays, and are excited to offer activities for all ages at Luck of Avalon.”

The Luck of Avalon event schedule is as follows:

• 4 p.m. to 5:30 p.m.: Enjoy bagpipe music from North Atlanta Pipes & Drums to get into the Irish spirit.
• 4 p.m. to 6 p.m.: Family fun face painting for the little leprechauns.
• 4 p.m. to 6 p.m.: St. Patrick’s Day-themed candy bar from Fuzziwig’s Candy Factory.
• 5 p.m. to 9 p.m.: Share your pictures on social media using #LuckOfAvalon and receive a special print out at the Flashtag Photo Booth.
• 6 p.m. to 10 p.m.: Back by popular demand, Az Izz dance and Motown band is returning for the second year in a row.
