Think lucky charms and shamrock greens as Downtown Windsor ditches the ordinary and embraces its inner Irish for one day of emerald euphoria.
Need something shiny? G&G Jewelers has the kind of bling that’d make a leprechaun do a double-take, while Shanfields-Meyers boasts crystal and china in all shades of green. Over at The Gifting Tree, you’ll find a treasure trove of quirky gifts, charming novelties, and maybe even a lucky trinket or two to keep the good vibes rolling.
You could say it’s just another day at the Whiskeyjack Boutique, where local and Canadian makers craft St. Paddy’s-coded treasures so authentic, you’d swear they had secret Dublin passports. And if you’re on the hunt for some proper Celtic tunes, swing by Dr. Disc Records—you just might strike gold (or at least find a jig-worthy jam)!
For the proud geeks in your crew, Rogues Gallery Comics might not have shamrocks, but their superhero madness is worth the stop. Over at Behind the Wood Bar Store, let’s just say their mixology gear would make St. Paddy himself raise a glass.
Feeling peckish? Downtown Windsor’s got pubs, eateries, and sweet spots serving up specials so Irish, you’ll be speaking with a brogue by dessert. Want to keep the artistic energy alive? Gift certificates for the Windsor Symphony Orchestra, the Capitol Theatre, the Chrysler Theatre, and the Windsor International Film Festival are a surefire way to win some cultural street cred. And for a touch of sophistication? Art Windsor-Essex and Lakeshore Fine Arts Gallery are premier destinations—because who says St. Paddy’s Day can’t have a little fine art flair?
As the sun dips, the waterfront transforms. The Detroit skyline will glow with a special emerald light, casting downtown in an Irish dream. And if you’re still treasure hunting, boutiques will be stocked with lucky charms, rich chocolates, and unique finds—because who knows? You just might stumble upon something magical at the end of downtown’s rainbow. |
