Just as much as the arts contributes to the exciting entertainment scene here, so do the local traditions. This week, you have The Eastport Democratic Club’s Annual Green Beer Races to look forward to. Happening on March 15, these races are an Irish tradition open to all. Events like women’s keg toss, kids kool-aid races, and bar relays make this event so special. As the name indicates, plenty of beer will be present. The Green Beer Races kick off at noon at the Eastport Democratic Club. Go to www.eastportdc.com to read more.
