Smilin' Irishman 2025

Chris Hodgetts

Congratulations to the 2025 Smilin’ Irishman Chris Hodgetts from the @friendlysons of St Patrick. Thanks to this year’s candidates for stepping up to share a song, a toast, a joke, their knowledge of whiskeys, and for helping to raise money for the parade and festival at this event:

Thanks especially to the Friendly Sons for putting on this event and partnering with the ICSC for 40+ years! This event raised more than $20k for the parade and festival. You guys are amazing.
We also want to thank @mcgregorssd Public Ale House for hosting the event and the Ass Pocket Whiskey Fellas for excellent music. They will be back with us on stage on March 15 at the festival.

Bring your family and friends and celebrate Irish heritage with us!
