Just like everybody’s a little bit Irish on St. Patrick’s Day, everybody’s got a bracket when March Madness rolls around. That’s why Waterford Crossings in Nashville, Tennessee, asked *the Idea Specialists™* for some slam-dunk suggestions on how to celebrate both this month.
Fellowship, Food & Fun Finds!
From shamrocks to the Sweet Sixteen, and whether it’s green beer and corned beef or “Courtside Punch” and chicken wings, the things all good March parties have in common are fellowship and food.
The Idea Specialists™ plan to take their shopping lists to the ALDI on Nolensville Pike to stock up on staples and sweets. They have learned about so many good frozen foods and specialty items and gotten so many great recipe ideas from being members of the ALDI Aisle of Shame Community on Facebook! And of course there’s nothing “shameful” about it! The name really refers to the area in the center of the store that is packed with what the grocer refers to as “ALDI Finds,” a rotating stock of limited-edition, often seasonally themed items. It’s also a prime spot to score dupes of popular name-brand products, at a fraction of the price. Who wouldn’t cheer for that?
Gameday Gatherings
When it comes to watching the NCAA men’s basketball tournament, plan to have a few folks over to enjoy the roundball action in the comfort of your luxury apartment home, or take advantage of the wonderful spaces in the Waterford Crossings clubhouse to cheer on your faves with your neighbors and friends. Decorate your drinks and spear your appetizers (served in hoop-designed snack cups!) with these fun basketball-themed cocktail picks the Idea Specialists™ found.
It always adds an extra level of excitement when you’re competing against friends, so get yourself a bracket going! There doesn’t have to be any money on the line—it can be all about the bragging rights! You can also play around with non-sports brackets to get the non-fans involved—movies, music, and more, the list goes on and on. Check out this post for more ideas.
The Wearing Of The Green
While once thought of as primarily a day of Catholic religious observance to honor Saint Patrick, the patron saint of Ireland, in modern times St. Patrick’s Day is more about the wearing of green clothing and celebrating all things Irish!
Faith and begorrah! There’s always a lot of fun to be had in Nashville on and around St. Patrick’s Day, and this year is no exception to that rule! Nashville Guru has a great rundown on a lot of the adult fun to be had. For fun with your li’l leprechauns, go to the third annual official Nashville St. Patrick’s Day Parade Saturday March 15, 2025. It will kick off at 10 a.m. in front of Boston Commons on Woodland and, among other things, feature traditional Irish Pipe and Drums, and some of your favorite sports fans and mascots! Then stick around for live Irish music all afternoon across venues in Five Points, as well as a kids zone with face painting and other family-friendly fun.
