Sones de México Ensemble and Seán Cleland with the Kilgubbin Ensemble present a music and dance spectacular telling the heroic story of the St. Patrick's Battalion (Batallón de San Patricio). Don’t miss this opportunity to celebrate two of Chicago’s most vibrant cultures in music and dance!
In 1846-48, during the Mexican-American War, a group of gallant soldiers formed mostly by recent Irish immigrants to the United States fought alongside Mexico against the U.S. invasion. The San Patricios fought under a green silk flag emblazoned with the Mexican coat of arms, an image of St. Patrick, and the words “Erin Go Bragh.”
