LUCK O’ THE LAKE

Race over to Excelsior to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day.

THE EXCELSIOR-LAKE MINNETONKA Chamber of Commerce has a lot of fun in store for the community as it celebrates St. Patrick’s Day. Try your luck with running the Luck O’ the Lake in Excelsior. The event’s race begins at 9 a.m. March 18 and will include 1-mile and 5K runs through town.

Not a runner? There’s plenty of fun to be had at an all-day tent party. For the younger set, bring them over to a children’s event, hosted by Primrose School, starting at 10 a.m. and featuring crafts, face painting and a magician. Enjoy performances from Irish dancers at 11 a.m., and live music will begin at 4:30 p.m. Food trucks, a beer trailer, other beverage options and more are set to be on hand. —Megan
