Sneak Peek: Exciting Spring Programming in Downtown Erie

Spring is just around the corner, and we’re gearing up for an exciting lineup of events that will bring music and energy to Downtown Erie. Here’s a little taste of what’s coming:

☘️ Saint Patrick’s Day Shenanigans
Mark your calendars for the Saint Patrick’s Day Parade on March 15th, and stick around after the last float rolls by for a party at Flagship City Food Hall! This year, we’re thrilled to feature live music from the local Celtic band Ischabaha. The place will be packed, so be sure to arrive early—and don’t forget your dancing shoes because this show will have you on your feet!

🎶 The 429 State Alley Parties
Picture this: you’re wandering downtown, and suddenly, you hear live music before you see it. You follow the sound, and an unexpected experience unfolds before you. That’s the magic of the 429 State Alley Parties. Tucked away in a hidden alley off 5th Street, this one-of-a-kind event transforms an unused urban space into a vibrant celebration of music, food, and drinks. We’re keeping the details a secret for now, but trust us—you won’t want to miss this music series!
