May the tree lined path rise up to greet you on Irish Day at Morris Arboretum, which is always dressed in green. Guests can learn more about Irish culture through music and dance performances, a history talk, and complimentary beer samples of a local Irish brew.

The schedule is as follows:
11 AM: Next Generation – Young musicians from the Irish Center perform traditional tunes below the Rose Garden.

12 Noon: Rince Ri School of Irish Dance dances at the Haha Wall.

1 PM: Pipers and historians, William and J. Francis Watson pipe their way down to the Baxter Circle (adjacent to the Garden Railway) where they give a talk about the findings revealed in their book Massacre at Duffy’s Cut: Tragedy and Conspiracy on the Pennsylvania Railroad.  Books will be available for purchase.

1 PM-3 PM: Doylestown Brewery offers Duffy’s Cut, an Irish style red ale, to sample while supplies last.  The brewery also offers six packs for sale.  A portion of the proceeds benefits the Duffy’s Cut Project.

2 PM:  Accordionist Rob Curto and fiddler Hollis Payer play Irish tunes below the Rose Garden.
