Organiser's description

In 2017, Carneys started a simple tradition rooted in gratitude for the community that supports us year after year. What began as a way to give back has grown into the annual CARNEYS CARES ST. PATRICKS DAY WEEKEND EXTRAVAGANZA - a weekend dedicated to coming together for a greater purpose.

Each year, 100% of proceeds from all ticketed events are donated directly to nonprofit organizations serving the Cape May community. In 2027, as we celebrate 10 years, we are honored to support two incredible local organizations: THE TJ HUNT FOUNDATION and NEXTGEN30, both of which are making a meaningful impact close to home.

Join us MARCH 12-14, 2027 for a full weekend of live music, great food and drinks, and most importantly, good company - all in support of a cause that matters.

Thank you for being part of a 10 year tradition that reminds us how powerful a community can be when it comes together for good. We hope to see you there!
