Rep. Connolly to Celebrate St. Paddy's Day With 19th Annual Fete
The event will be held Sunday at the Kena Temple in Fairfax.
Virginia Congressman Gerry Connolly (D-11th) will host his 19th Annual St. Patrick’s Day Fete on Sunday at the Kena Shriners Temple in Fairfax. The event, which is one of the largest annual Democratic gatherings in Northern Virginia, is one of his biggest campaign fundraisers of the year.
The fete began in 1995 in Connolly's Fairfax home, but the festivities soon outgrew the venue, and the Kena function hall has been home ever since to hundreds of the party faithful.
The event will be held from 7 p.m. – 9:30 p.m., and tickets cost $40 and include a full Irish dinner of corned-beef, cabbage and other traditional Irish fare.
