RiRa

March 16 - 17, 2013
Midtown’s Irish watering hole will close off a portion of Crescent Avenue to make way for a St. Patrick’s Day Block Party Festival. Beginning at 9 a.m., guests can start the day’s off right with a pint and traditional breakfast and brunch items. Inside the pub, noon the music kicks off with a variety of performances that continue until evening. Outdoors, the fun kicks off at 2 p.m. with a four-group line-up of live music and dancing from 3 to 10:30 p.m. Satellite bars with beer and food will be available, along with a Guinness draft truck. Tickets will be required for entry beginning at 2 p.m. and can be purchased for $10 in advance at TicketAlternative.com or for $10 at the door.

The celebration will continue early on Sunday, March 17, again with an Irish breakfast and IPL soccer, followed by three bands and two sets of Irish dancers rounding out the week’s events.

ShamROCK'd with Yacht Rock

March 2, 2013
Kick off March and St. Patrick's Day mayhem with Yacht Rock at Park Tavern. With the green beer flowing aplenty, Yacht Rock Revue will put on their usual super fun show. Tickets for ages 21 and up are $15 in advance and $15, and prices will increase as the event approaches. VIP tickets are available for $50 and include a private bar and special seating.

LEPRE*CON

Saturday, March 16, 2013
A Social Mess hosts Lepre*CON at Park Tavern. I think their description pretty much sums it up: an entire day of nonsense which will include live music, your mom, her therapist and 4,000 Irish acting Atlantans with a sweet buzz. Safe to say, this will be quite the party.
