Celebrate St. Patrick’s Day with crafts, stories and fun featuring the colour green at Green, Green, Glorious Green at the Alderney Gate Library! Don’t forget to wear green! 3.

You’ll get to  wear your green and join them in an easy, guided night time walk of the Shubenacadie Provincial Wildlife Park. Bring a flashlight and get a nocturnal view of the park and its inhabitants. 4. If your kids enjoy a puppet show, there are two St. Patrick’s Day shows you can check out!
