Everyone’s a wee bit Irish in O’Falmouth Village on St. Paddy’s Day
Falmouth Village, MA – While the saying is that everyone’s got a wee bit of Irish in them on St. Patrick’s Day, nowhere is it truer than Falmouth Village, MA.

Home to Liam Maguire’s Irish Pub and Restaurant, one of New England’s top ten Irish Restaurants (according to the Boston Globe), businesses up and down Main Street will join in Liam Maguire’s fun and extend the St. Paddy’s Day celebration to the entire weekend of March 14-17th with green dot sales, window decorations, special Irish menus, Irish music and dancing, and lodging packages, all topped off on March 17th with beers and bands at Liam Maguire’s. Book a stay with one of the participating Falmouth B&Bs and you’ll be treated to an authentic Irish breakfast and surprise treats. Then hit the streets of O’Falmouth Village for everything from corned beef to Irish pizza and Irish Margaritas, plus plenty of green dot sales too.
Just for the day, many of the businesses throughout Falmouth Village will change their name for the day to include an O’. O’Palmer House Inn, O’Eight Cousins Bookstore, even O’Mad Hatter are just the beginning!
Retailers throughout Falmouth Village will add creative St. Patrick’s Day themed window displays and hold green-dot and St. Patrick’s Day sales. Look for creative Irish takes on internationally-themed menus like the Irish Margarita, with a hint of mint at O’Anejo Mexican Bistro, the Corned Beef Sandwich Special at the Pickle Jar and the St. Paddy’s Pizza topped off with The Leprechaun cocktail at Stone L’oven Pizza Co. Never tried of bangers and rashers? You’ll find they are delicious additions to the menus at local inns and B&Bs.
