The month of March turns attention to Irish culture in preparation for St. Patrick’s Day, and Governor Bill Haslam has proclaimed March 25, 2017, Irish Sports Day in Tennessee.

On Tennessee Irish Sports Day, hurling teams from all over North America will travel to Nashville to compete in the Music City Invitational tournament. Read more.
