I am not sure what I am going to do for St. Pats. So far I don't have any work conflicts like I have had the past two years. I would normally go to Dublin Pub when Father, Sons, and Friends is playing. They play sometime in the afternoon. They are also at Harrigan's that evening. Dulahan is also playing somewhere in town that day.

Dublin Pub puts up a big tent over their entire parking lot. There is a stage in there and that is where all the bands play. They start early in the morning and go all day. I think this is the largest St. Patrick's Day celebration in Dayton. I have heard the crowds gets so large that the Dayton police shut down Wayne Avenue for part of the day. I have always been there in the evening so I have never experienced Wayne Avenue being closed. Parking can be a problem as this is the Oregon district and there are other food/beverage establishments in this area that pull a big crowd for the festivities.
