Formed last year, the Lakes District Celtic Society is having its inaugural Irish party to celebrate St Patrick's Day.
The celebration will be of all things Irish on Sunday at Arrowtown's Fork and Tap with live music, Irish dancing, and a jig performed by the mini Buckingham Belles.
The society meets at the Fork and Tap on the first Wednesday of each month and also hosts live music evenings every three months.
Organiser Alice Hutchens said the idea was to keep people in touch with their Celtic backgrounds and other Celtic events going on in the area.
The society also helps fund the Queenstown Pipe Band, which recently took part in a national competition.
The St Patrick's Day event was free and Mrs Hutchens said everyone was welcome to celebrate the big day on the Celtic calendar.
The Fork and Tap had an Irish chef, who was putting together an Irish meal for those who booked ahead, she said.
