Paddy in Poughkeepsie is set for March 11 at MJN Convention Center.

The Hudson Valley's biggest St. Patrick's Day Celebration is set for Saturday, March 11 2 to 8 pm at MJN Convention Center (formerly Mid Hudson Civic Center). The event was known as Paddy on the River for many years at Waryas Park on the Poughkeepsie waterfront. Dealing with the elements of the weather in March could always be tricky, so the event returns this year under the new name of Paddy in Poughkeepsie and indoors.

Paddy in Poughkeepsie at MJN Convention Center is Presented by Mahoney's Irish Pub & Steakhouse, Dutchess Beer, Millhouse Brewing and Perfect Exteriors.
