Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Our Kiva auditorium was buzzing as the local band, Whisky Before Breakfast, filled the air with lively Irish jigs and reels while residents enjoyed traditional Irish coffee and refreshments.

Thank you to everyone who joined us to celebrate Irish culture, great music, and good company! ☘️

Today, we celebrated Mardi Gras the right way: with world-class music and world-class treats!

The Jackson French Quarter Dixieland Band brought the soul of New Orleans to our Kiva auditorium, while Friendship Village residents enjoyed a Fat Tuesday staple...fresh, jam-filled pączki! It’s safe to say no one left the party hungry or without a smile on their face!

Thank you to all who came to celebrate, and a very special thank you to the Jackson French Quarter Dixieland Band for making this an afternoon to remember!

Happy Mardi Gras!

As many expressed at the event, Friendship Village feels more like another home than a place of employment. Happy Holidays with love and gratitude to all!
