From Bourke Street to Trentham East, the last remaining St Patrick’s Day march is now an annual modern celebration, bringing the Hepburn Shire and Macedon Ranges together to celebrate the best of Irish culture.
Since 1887, the Pig and Whistle Hotel has nestled on a quiet corner in Trentham East, a living remnant of the town’s early history and its Irish settlers.
In what will be a weekend-long affair from March 17-19, the Pig and Whistle is honouring a traditional Irish menu and, of course, plenty of Guinness.
Live music from Irish instrumentalists and roaming dancing will transport you back in time.
On Sunday at 11am, join the community out the front of the old Sacred Heart Church to learn history and folklore, hear from Irish locals and follow behind bagpipes.
Everyone is welcome to participate in the march to the Pig and Whistle and encouraged to be part of the all-day festivities.
The Pig and Whistle Hotel is located at 705 James Lane, Trentham East.
