That's right. Green beer, a theater full of raging movie geeks, and legendary Ozsploitation director Brian Trenchard-Smith in person to answer for what he's done! Read on for more info!
Leprechaun In Space director Brian Trenchard-Smith (the man also behind Turkey Shoot, Dead End Drive-In, The Man From Hong Kong, Stunt Rock, and many more gems of grindy goodness) will be on hand to introduce the films and speak with the audience. Mr. Trenchard-Smith could entertain the crowd all by his lonesome, now factor in a triple feature of Leprechaun madness, and it's obvious that the Cinefamily theater is the place to be on March 17'th!

Here's the info from the official Cinefamily site.

Leprethon!:
A Cinefamily St. Patrick's Day Fundraiser
(feat. Leprechaun 3, Leprechaun 4: In Space & Leprechaun In Da Hood, director Brian Trenchard-Smith in person!)

It's St. Patrick's Day i.e. a really convenient excuse for the beer to flow! And like all drinking excuses, this one's best executed with maximal stupidity -- a Leprethon! Around 1992, some genius scribe said to himself, "I love slashers like Freddy and Jason -- but I'm also into little monsters like Gremlins and Ghoulies. Let's combine the two!" Who that genius was is unimportant; what matters is that one phone call later to dwarf superstar Warwick Davis, and the bold, courageous Leprechaun saga was born. We have this watershed series to thank for the careers of Jennifer Aniston and...well, some other people, but mostly what we take away with us is the killing, the constant harping of "Where's me gold?" and the laughter. Tonight, we've got green beer, green popcorn, fake pots 'o gold -- and the three best Leprechaun slasher sequels back-to-back: Leprechaun 3, featuring our man terrorizing Las Vegas; Leprechaun 4: In Space, which puts the lil' guy in the last place you'd ever think to look for him; and lastly, the distinguished pairing of The Lep and Ice-T(!) for our anti-hero's craziest adventure yet, Leprechaun In Da Hood. Erin Go Bragh! Schedule permitting, director Brian Trenchard-Smith (Leprechaun 3, Leprechaun 4: In Space) will be here for a Q&A in-between the films! As well, the evening features a cash bar stocked with Guinness, Jameson and green beer on tap!

12 dollars at the door/Free for members!  

Check out the original trailer for the event below the break. Be sure to bring a pocketful of gold and your finest drinking jacket.
