LET THE CELEBRATION BEGIN!

Many Irish traditions surrounding St. Patrick’s are folklore, but for those of us who are fortunate enough to live in Dublin, Georgia, St. Patrick’s is an opportunity for the community to come out for celebration.

In Dublin, St. Patrick’s is celebrated throughout the month of March with plenty of family fun.   Special St. Patrick’s events include Bridge and Canasta Tournaments, a Barbeque Cook-off, (hot-air) Balloon Fest, Kite Flying Jamboree, Lunch with Lucky Leprechaun and the Shamrock crawl.  And that’s just week one!  The list goes on with Super Saturday scheduled for March 19.  This is the highlight of the month when thousands of people will gather in Dublin for events like the Leprechaun Road Race, Parade, and Arts & Crafts Festival, among others, that will be going on throughout the day and into the evening.   

Contact Curry Companies for a complete list of scheduled events so you can make your plans to enjoy good family fun where Irish Eyes are Smiling.
