The St. Patricks’ Day celebration started early in New Ulm on Saturday with the Irish Tea and Luncheon, put on by the New Ulm Irish Cultural Society at the Best Western Plus in New Ulm.
The event featured traditional Irish food, storytelling, music and dance, all to get the New Ulm ready for the St. Patrick’s Day parade on Friday, and to celebrate and reinforce the sense of identity for the Irish community in the German town of New Ulm and the surrounding area.
