Harpist Áine Minogue Plays at Plimoth Plantation Opening Day

Master Irish Musician, Áine Minogue, will cap-off a one-of-a-kind opening day at Plimoth Plantation with an Irish twist. The Boston-based harpist will perform songs in celebration of the start of spring and the area's Irish heritage, at Plimoth Plantation on March 15, at 7:00 p.m. 

The concert follows a day of special programming throughout the museum’s sites highlighting Irish themes relevant to the 17th Century. With St. Patrick’s Day approaching, the museum will include lectures, pop-up talks, and foodways demonstrations to its regularly scheduled program. Guests will learn answers to such questions as, why the Pilgrims sounded Irish?, when did the potato arrive in Plimoth Colony?, what are the similarities between Ireland and colonial America in the 17th Century?, and many more. Enjoy corned beef and cabbage at the Patuxet Café and at 4 p.m. Irish stew, shamrock cookies, and Irish libations will be available for purchase prior to Áine Minogue’s concert.
