Happy birthday, Browne's Irish Marketplace. The oldest Irish business in the world outside of Ireland is turning 135, and owners are planning to celebrate with Kansas Citians in a big way.

There's lots to know about this weekend's céilí (that's Irish for "party") — but first, a recap.

Browne's, abridged

Browne’s Irish Market spans five generations. Kerry Browne runs the shop today — she's a descendant of the Flavian-Browne family that opened in the front room of their Kansas City home in 1887.

The business today is a KC staple. Inside, you'll find a mix of imported Irish retail (including apparel, whiskey, and real Irish candies) + a deli famous for its Reuben sandwich. Crane Brewing Company even created a Browne's brown ale, which is available at the store (Editor Travis is a big fan). i need to try this

Browne's is so integral to KC that leaders plan to honor the family with a special proclamation at the City Council meeting today.

"This is such an honor for us! Proud of the generations who came before to get us here now," Kerry wrote.

Let's "craic" on

That's the all-encompassing Irish term for a fun time.

Browne's celebration will be "a day of music, pints, food, whiskey and games," according to the event. Expect three Irish bands, Irish dancing, bites from the deli + food trucks, beer, whiskey, and a whole lot of green. count me tf in
