Can you believe that we are already two full months into the year? It seems like only yesterday we were sending 2015 off with a bang to welcome in the new year. 2016 has treated us well so far. The luck seems to be continuing this month as it’s almost St. Patrick’s Day! There are some exciting events happening this weekend and next week surrounding the green holiday. Even if you’re not Irish, you can still celebrate because you know what they say: everyone is Irish on St. Patty’s.

Tomorrow a 10 hour celebration is kicking off on Buckhead Avenue. The whole street is getting shut down by the massive party for St. Patrick’s Day. You get 10 full hours of bands, DJ’s and entertainment. After 2 PM everyone must be 21 and over. It is a drinking holiday after all. To remember the celebration, make sure you purchase your very own t-shirt. Using the promo code TEAMDRINKINGSHIRTS, you’ll receive $5 off your purchase. Spend the day, sipping drinks with your friends and listening to an awesome lineup of bands. Turnstile, The Josh Brannon Band, Justin and U2 tribute band Desire will be there to entertain you. Buckhead Avenue is only a 20 minute drive away from Clairmont Reserve Apartments so you don’t have far to go for the party.

The same morning, you can see the St. Patrick’s Day annual parade in Midtown Atlanta. Starting at noon and ending at 1:30, you can cheer on the 5K runners as well as enjoy the parade participants. Just before the parade, face painters will be around to decorate you beautifully. Celebrate your (adopted) Irish pride for one day of the year with a parade. What could be better than that?

If you’re an early riser you can participate in the Kegs and Eggs St. Patrick’s Day edition. From 10 AM until 2 PM, enjoy tasty breakfast foods complemented by tasty beers. There are multiple bars participating so you’ll have tons of options to choose from.

It doesn’t matter if you’re full-Irish, half Irish or not Irish at all. Everyone is Irish on this green holiday so we should celebrate accordingly. The culture and traditions of the holiday should be celebrated. How do you plan on getting your green on?
