DESCRIPTION: The 2009 St. Patrick's Day Festival was held on Saturday and
Sunday, March 14 & 15, at the Dublin Civic Plaza. Once again the festival featured several new
components such as Sheepherding demonstrations, the O'Reilly Tea Room and a new carnival ride
vendor. Although attendance was down from previous years, overall feedback from attendees and
vendors was all very positive.
The Festival and Fun Run were well supported by local businesses. The City received $40,150 in
