“Be Irish For a Day”, The 5th Annual Milton, St. Patrick’s Day Parade, Irish Eyes Pub & Restaurant, Sunday, March 11th, Fundraising Event, Historic Milton, Delaware

Historic Milton, Delaware is just minutes from the towns of Lewes, Rehoboth, and Dewey Beach.  By minutes, I mean about, 15 or 20 minutes.  No big deal, driving through our roads is a breeze

As towns get bigger and more progressive and as residents fight to keep them real, Milton is a classic example of life in a small historic town.

“Milton’s history is written in its streets, its architecture, its relationship to the Broadkill River, its industrial heritage, and its image and reputation throughout Delaware and beyond.”

Milton was once a hub of the button cutting industry.  A multi step and labor intensive process that was global.

If you want to know more about this historic town who is also the home of the much loved Dogfish Head Brewery, please visit:

So, on Sunday, March 11 you can join Irish Eyes Pub & Restaurant for the 5th Annual Milton St. Patrick’s Day Parade, in Downtown Historic Milton.   It will start at 2 p.m.  Lineup will be on Atlantic and Hazzard Aves.

Let’s raise some GREEN for the Milton Fire Department Training Program, Best Buddies Delaware and Casa San Francisco.
