Luck of the Irish - Musical Revue & Irish Lunch

The Spirit of Ireland — St. Patrick’s Week Celebration

Grab your four-leaf clover and get your leprechaun on with The Spirit of Ireland, a joyful celebration where everyone in the room becomes an honorary Irishman for the day. Upon arrival at the elegant Almansor Court Grand Ballroom in Alhambra (just south of Pasadena), you'll be welcomed by the stirring sound of live bagpipes before sitting down to a gourmet Irish luncheon and an enchanting St. Patrick’s variety show presented by The Colorful Songs Revue.

This spirited production blends music, dance, and storytelling into an afternoon that’s both polished and delightfully fun. The program includes a heartfelt salute to veterans in the audience, followed by a high-energy showcase of Irish culture performed by Michael Ryan and seven other accomplished artists.

The revue features authentic Irish singers, award-winning dancers, and versatile instrumentalists performing an ever-changing program of solos, duets, ensemble numbers, and traditional Irish step dancing. From haunting Celtic melodies to upbeat, pub-style singalongs, the show captures the full emotional range of Irish music—romantic, playful, nostalgic, and rousing.

Performed with guitars, mandolin, penny whistle flute, stand-up bass, and rich vocal harmonies, the music feels both authentic and inviting. Adding to the excitement are the dazzling dancers from the Tamora School of Irish Dance, whose precision footwork and vibrant costumes bring the stage to life.

Colorful, uplifting, and full of heart, The Spirit of Ireland promises a festive afternoon of great food, great company, and the irresistible charm of Irish music and dance.

Your travel package includes a waiter-served, three-course luncheon with iced tea, coffee and complimentary WINE. Choose from:

• Corned Beef & Cabbage

• Lemon Chicken

• Vegetarian Pasta

• Vegan Tartare (artfully displayed vegetables diced atop a bed of avocados & topped with balsamic vinaigrette and homeade crostin)

All meals come with a garden salad, dinner rolls, and an ice cream sundae for dessert.

The festivities include great raffle prizes and bargain shopping followed by the St. Patrick’s Lunch & Show. You’ll be sham-rocking all the way home after this celebration of Irish music and merriment!
