Back by popular demand, Irish Road Bowling returns to the streets of New Town for its second year! Grab a few friends, put together a team, and get ready for a morning of friendly competition, plenty of laughs, and a great cause.
Never tried Irish Road Bowling? Think Bocce Ball meets golf — except the course travels through the neighborhood! Teams of four take turns rolling or hurling a metal ball along a predetermined one-mile course. Every throw counts, and just like golf, the goal is to reach the finish in the fewest throws possible.
No skill required! Teams must consist of four players, all 21 or older, and advance registration is required. A $125 team ticket includes a 12-pack of beverages, plus an Irish Road Bowl T-shirt and koozie for every player. Prizes will be awarded to the winning team, losing team, and most creative costumes — so having fun may be just as important as your score.
Best of all, the event benefits Carney’s Kids Foundation, which supports 51 children’s charities throughout the St. Louis area. Want to make an even bigger impact? Sponsorship opportunities range from $150 to $1,500, with benefits including event signage, social media recognition, team entries, T-shirts, and, at select levels, recognition on The Carney Show on Big 550 KTRS. Donations of any amount are also welcome.
Not bowling? Come out and follow the action from the sidelines!
Please note that New Town Lake Drive in front of the Wine Bar and Rue Royale behind the stage will be closed during the event. Alleys will remain available for neighborhood access.
