There’s plenty going on this Friday, St. Patrick’s Day in and around town.

“I love St. Patrick’s Day,” said Jon Abbey, owner of The Celtic Knot restaurant in Lakeville. “It’s a great day. Everyone is relaxed, has fun and everybody mingles.”

The Celtic Knot, at the corner of Lakeville and Rochester roads will be open from 9 a.m. to midnight, with live entertainment from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. According to Abbey this is their 8^th annual two-day celebration (they will be open from Noon to 11 on Saturday, too.)
