DESCRIPTION The Seventh Annual St . Patrick' s Day Celebration and
Parade are 'scheduled for Saturday, March 17 , 1990 . The parade sponsored by
the Dublin-San Ramon Lions Club, is traditionally held in downtown Dublin.
The parade features local bands , service clubs , youth groups , and City
dignitaries and has grown in size from 25 entries in 1984 to 63 entries in
1989 . The Community Celebration is organized by the City ' s Recreation
Department and is normally scheduled at Shannon Center and Park. Food and
game booths sponsored by local service clubs and non-profit organizations and
entertainment by area performers combine to make the celebration festive and
fun for those in attendance .
Staff has prepared the following preliminary plans for this year ' s St .
Patrick' s Day Celebration for review by the City Council.
Community Celebration
As Shannon Park will be in the midst of a major renovation, an alternate site
for the Celebration needs to be determined . The 1989 Celebration was held in
the interior courtyard at Dublin High School due to the renovation of Shannon
Center. Although adequate , Staff felt that its location was a deterrent to
attendance as the festivities were not visible from the street. Consequently,
Staff recommends that the 1990 Celebration be staged at the Civic Center.
Food and game booths could be set-up utilizing the plaza and courtyard with
entertainment in the Council Chambers .
Parade
For the past two years , the parade has followed the route as shown below:
East on Amador Valley Boulevard
South on Village Parkway
West on Dublin Boulevard
North on Amador Valley Boulevard
Regional Street has been utilized as the staging area for the parade .
Although this parade route has worked well in the past, Staff has received
some complaints from merchants along the parade route . Thus Staff
investigated a number of other parade routes which would relieve this area of
congestion. However , after a review by the Dublin-San Ramon Lions Club, the
aforementioned parade route is most suitable. In order to ensure that all
businesses along the parade route are aware of the parade , Staff will
coordinate the notification process . Additionally, the Chamber of Commerce
has committed space in their monthly newsletter to keep the merchants
informed.
