Foss, City Manager SUBJECT: St. Patrick's Day Festival Report Prepared by: Tegan McLane, Cultural Arts & Heritage Manager EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: The City Council will receive a report on the 2017 St. Patrick's Day Festival, formally accept event sponsorship donations and recognize the sponsors. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Receive the report, formally accept the sponsorship donations and recognize the sponsors. FINANCIAL IMPACT: The City received $75,000 in cash sponsorship toward the St. Patrick’s Day Festival and Shamrock 5K Fun Run & Walk. DESCRIPTION: The City Council is being asked to formally recognize sponsors for the 34 th annual St. Patrick’s Day Festival and 19th annual Shamrock 5K Fun Run and Walk. Thanks to beautiful weather this year, Dublin's 34th annual St. Patrick's Day Festival saw a return to the large crowds that have made the event such a success in the past. An estimated 80,000 people attended over the course of the weekend, on a par with previous years. Festival sponsorship topped last year’s record, with 26 businesses providing $68,500 in sponsorship. Sponsorship for the Shamrock 5K was lower than last year, due in part to the loss of long-time sponsor World of Shoes. A large number of in-kind donations were also received for both the festival and the 5K. In-kind donations help to reduce expenses and/or allow the City to enhance the experience for participants beyond what was originally planned. In recognition of their monetary and in -kind donations, the following sponsors will be Page 2 of 3 presented with certificates of appreciation for supporting these City of Dublin events.
