“It’s been a long winter; we’re rejuvenating and rebuilding. Let’s just have a fun get-together,” said Amy Carreno, public programs coordinator at the Long Beach Island Foundation of the Arts and Sciences. That’s the idea behind the LBIF’s Luck O’ the Island Party set for Friday, March 15. The family-friendly celebration, complete with live Irish music played by The Sweeney Band and The Guy Smiley Band, as well as a host of fun activities provided by Fantasy Island, Just Bead It and Viking Village, will be held inside the organization’s art gallery in Loveladies from 7 to 10 p.m.
Freckles the Clown will offer face painting, and LBI is ALIVE will be selling T-shirts. A chance to register for the Shamrocks for Sandy Run set for Sunday, March 17, will also be available.
The Amergael Society will be showcasing artwork from its annual Celebrate Irish Arts festival, currently featured in the Long Beach Island branch of the Ocean County Library in Surf City.
Postcards of the Island’s most noteworthy characteristics, photographed by LBIF member Ann Coen and printed by local surf and skate apparel company Jetty, will be provided for participants to mail out to friends and family.
Food will also be catered by local eateries, including Plantation, Kubel’s Too, the Engelside Inn, Scojo’s, Cake That!, Philadelphia Pretzel Factory, the Greenhouse Café, Speakeasy Pizza, Oasis Grill and more.
“It’s a fun event just to bring the community together because we need a reason to celebrate,” said Carreno.
Admittance to the event costs $5 a person. For more information, visit lbifoundation.org, or call 609-494-1241.
