Make your plans now for Indy’s biggest St. Patrick’s Day Party, spanning over three days this year on March 13 and 14, and after a few days breather, March 17 at The Brockway Pub in Carmel. There, the Carmel Fire Department’s annual “pumper pull” and “keg toss” will once again raise funds for the Firefighters Bereavement Fund created to help the family of a fallen firefighter.
A special guest headliner performance this year features rock-n-roll star Justin Biltonen of 3 Doors Down, bringing his emerging Nashville-based solo act to Carmel. His Friday night show kicks of an incredible lineup of live music performances, including Stuck & Gunner from Q95 and local favorite My Yellow Rickshaw, not to mention the traditional CFD bagpipes playing each day.
This year marks the 13th consecutive year the Brockway has teamed up with Carmel Professional Firefighters IAFF Local 4444 to raise funds for the Firefighters Bereavement Fund, a passion of Brockway co-founder, the late Lainie Paul.
“Supporting our local firefighters is definitely something we feel very strongly about, especially this time of the year when we gather in the street to celebrate the good times with our friends, enjoying live music, cold beer and great food,” said Kevin Paul, co-founder and owner of the Brockway and Danny Boy Beer Works. “You don’t have to have a firefighter on your team to pull or throw a keg. Anyone can put a team together at this family-friendly event. There will be live music throughout the day including the Fire Department’s pipes and drums band.”
The event is family friendly, but you must be 21 to enjoy adult beverages under the tents and inside the Brockway. A full menu of special St. Pat’s Day food will be available for purchase, along with plenty of Danny Boy Beer Works craft beers, Guinness and Jameson’s Irish Whiskey. All events will be held at The Brockway Pub, 12525 Old Meridian St., Carmel.
