March brought big energy, big moments, and plenty of reasons to celebrate at Kirkland Urban!

KU Mardi-ROCK, a shamrock-themed street party filled the plaza with music, color, and all-ages fun. Whether participants were finishing the Shamrock Run or just stopping by, the event offered a lively celebration for the whole community.  

Caricature Drawing 
Local artists captured playful caricatures of attendees, giving everyone a unique keepsake from the festivities. 

Balloon Making & Face Painting 
Hoopla artists brought extra flair with balloon twisting, while face painting stations added a festive touch to the afternoon. 

Leprechaun Hunt 
Kids and families joined in the leprechaun hunt across the plaza, adding a dash of magic and excitement to the day. 

Between the activities, guests enjoyed themed photo ops, music from a live DJ, and pop-ups from local retailers that kept the celebration going.
