Luck of the Duck Fest Branford

Celebrate St. Patrick’s Day at our Branford location with an afternoon rooted in Irish tradition, community, and a little friendly competition. The Luck of the Duck Fest is family friendly and built for spending the day together, whether you stop in for one pint or stay for the full celebration.

Live Entertainment Enjoy live music from Brannigan’s Corner, a local band performing traditional Irish and Scottish tunes throughout the afternoon. The celebration continues with an Irish step dance performance by The Brennan-Lucey Irish Dance Academy, bringing classic movement and energy to the taproom. We’re also proud to welcome the New Haven Firefighters Emerald Society, joining us to add to the spirit of the day.

Raffles and Competitions There will be plenty of chances to jump in and win throughout the event.

• Lucky Duck Raffle- Every guest receives a lucky duck with a number at the door. A winning number will be called at the top of every hour, with prizes awarded.

• Tater Trot- Put your balance to the test. Competitors will race while carrying a potato on a spoon. First to cross the finish line without dropping it takes the prize.

• Best Dressed Leprechaun Competition- Dress for the occasion and show off your best leprechaun look. Participants will be called up and the crowd will vote for their favorite.

• Irish Blessings Competition- Eight contestants will take the stage to deliver their best Irish toast in 20 seconds or less. The crowd will choose the winner.
