The Irish Cultural Center
It’s open year round, but the center may hold a draw for those more interested in academics and less in parades in celebration. Cobblestone and towering, the building itself looks like it was taken straight out of Dublin. The building is located at 106 North Central Ave. in Phoenix.
Pot of Gold
Are you a music lover? Well, you’ve struck gold. On March 17 and 19, Chandler will host a two-day music festival at with a killer lineup. Artists such as Big Sean, Rebelution and Slightly Stoopid will perform at Rawhide.
