The 4th annual Oak Forest Fleadh is just 9 days away (that's March 9), and Patch wants to make sure you're ready for all the happenings throughout the day.

The latter half of the day features a bar and restaurant open house that kicks off at 5 p.m. and runs until the early morning hours. Nine Oak Forest watering holes will participate in the open house, and Patch will spotlight one each day until the big day.

Today, Patch features the Oak Forest Bowl.

What time does the party start?

Doors open at 9 a.m. with drink and food specials running until the party ends at closing time, 2 a.m.

What's going on?

The party kicks into high gear at 2 p.m. with Impact Band taking the outdoor stage at 2 p.m. There will be heated decks and the patio will be heated in The Park at Oak Forest Bowl. Then at 9 p.m. Full Disclosure takes the indoor stage to entertain the masses.

What's that going to cost me?

Oak Forest Bowl is loading up on specials for the party. The bowling alley will kick off the day from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. with a $9 two-game special, with shoes, per person. Then, the bar gets things going with several specials of its own.
