Welcome to Fredericksburg! Grab your favorite partner and head on over, up, or down to Fredericksburg for the annual St. Patrick’s Sectional. Always known for good food, good company, and good games (wish we could promise good cards!), this Sectional promises to be lots of fun.

After a three-year hiatus due to Covid-19 restrictions, the Fredericksburg St. Patrick’s Day Sectional Bridge Tournament will return in 2023.

The event, sponsored by the Richmond Bridge Association and the Rappahannock Area Bridge Club, is scheduled for March 10-12. The tournament will be held at a new location, the Holiday Inn Conference Center at 20 Sanford Drive on the western side of the intersection at Interstate 95 Exit 133 and Route 17.

The 132-room event hotel features a $79 room rate for attendees. Amenities include refrigerators and microwaves, complimentary wireless Internet, an indoor pool, and a 24-hour fitness center.

“We will have some new features at the tournament and expect a great turnout from throughout the region,” Show Chairman Peter Martin said.
