Get Out: Five Things to do This Weekend

This week we have singing and dancing, brunch, a parade and yes, the roller derby:

1. The 54th Allentown St. Patrick's Day Parade

When/Where: 1:30-6 p.m. March 20 beginning at the Allentown Fairgrounds and winding through the city's West End.

Why go: Because everybody is Irish three days after St. Patrick's Day!

Pricing: Depends on how much beer you imbibe along the way!

2. March Brunch at Cosmopolitan

When/Where: 10 am. to 3 p.m. March 20 at Cosmopolitan, 22 N. 6th St., Allentown.

Why go: The site of the former (and some say historic) Sal's Spaghetti House has been rebuilt as a truly gorgeous place to go for a treat.

Pricing: Again, depends on what you order. 

3. Women of Ireland

When/Where: 8 p.m. March 18 at Symphony Hall, 23 N. 6th St., Allentown.

Why go: The group of five women include three vocalists, a fiddler and a dancer. What could be more perfect?

Pricing: $35-$60.

4. Dancing on Thirds

When/Where: 8-11pm at the Third Street Alliance, 41 N. 3rd St., Easton.

Why go: Because the atmosphere is relaxed, dress is casual and it's fun!

Pricing: $10.

5. Roller Derby: Lehigh Valley Hissy Fits v. Central New York Roller Derby

Independence Family Fun Center, 4345 Independence Drive, Schnecksville. Doors open at 5 p.m.

Why go: Um, roller derby? Hello?
