FRIDAY
Flip The House Party for Dan Canon Zanzabar $15 | 8 p.m.-2 a.m. This isn’t your normal political fundraiser… or birthday party. But, then again, Dan Canon isn’t your normal politician. Plus, it includes most of our favorite types of parties anyway. Organizer and birthday host Dawn Howard said the “drag, burlesque, flow, fire, grinder, sideshow, escape and clowning performers will be entertaining for the night.” Throw in Howell Dawdy’s Karaoke Roulette and all the regular Zanzabar fun, and how could we not endorse this party? All of the organizers and entertainers are donating their time to support this event, which does support Canon’s campaign for U.S. representative from across the river, so bring a little extra tip money for them. Because of campaign finance rules, organizers highly recommend that you buy your tickets online. Door purchases are available, but expect a line — so buy online.SATURDAY
‘Sweet Dreams’ by Yoko Molotov (through April 15) Sheherazade Gallery Free | 7-10 p.m. The brassy and prolific visual and performing artist Yoko Molotov is showcasing her new iconic work “Sweet Dreams” at Sheherazade’s innovative window gallery, viewable only from the outside. “Sweet Dreams” features a video and six new, panoramic digital drawings inspired by surrealist automatism.

St. Patrick's Parade! Bardstown Road and Baxter Avenue Free | 3-6 p.m. You could say this parade is a reflection of terrible Irish stereotypes, where the goal is to dress like a leprechaun and get as drunk as humanly possible. Or, you could lighten up and just acknowledge that it’s a solid excuse to wear your favorite green outfit and party with your friends! The parade starts at 3 p.m. near Phoenix Hill and ends at the Mid-City Mall. Thousands show up, so be sure to arrive early if you want a spot. And after the parade, head to O’Shea’s Irish Pub where awards will be given to the best parade floats and groups.
