DESCRIPTION : The 11th Annual st. Patrick's Day Celebration
is scheduled for Saturday, March 12, 1994. Once again, the Dublin-San
Ramon Lions Club will sponsor the parade, the city's Recreation
Department will plan and organize the community celebration, and the
Dublin Chamber of Commerce will work with the business community to
promote the Celebration.
PARADE
The traditional st. Patrick's Day Parade is sponsored by the
Dublin-San Ramon Lions Club and features local bands, service clubs,
youth groups, City dignitaries and floats.
It is recommended that the parade follow the same route as last year:
South on Amador Plaza Road
East on Dublin Boulevard,
North on village Parkway
West on Amador Valley Boulevard
Amador Plaza Road will be utilized as the staging area for the parade
and the parade will disband at the Albertson's parking lot (across the
street from Shamrock Village).
This route has been reviewed and approved by the city's Police and
Public Works Departments as well as the Dublin-San Ramon Lions Club.
COMMUNITY CELEBRATION
The Shamrock Village Center on Amador Valley Boulevard was the
location of the 1993 community celebration. This site was
enthusiastically supported by the Center merchants and was suitable
for the various activities organized by the city. Thus, it is
recommended that the 1994 celebration once again be held at the
Shamrock village Center.
The proposed components of the community celebration are as follows:
Arts & Craft Fair
Carnival Games
Food Booths
Information Booths
commercial/Business Section
Entertainment (2 stages)
Health Fair
BUSINESS PARTICIPATION
For the past two years local businesses were invited to stage sidewalk
sales in conjunction with the celebration. In addition, promotional
sign processing fees were waived for those businesses who referred to
the st. Patrick's Day Celebration in their promotional signs. There
were a number of businesses who took advantage of these two
promotions.
