DESCRIPTION: The 2008 S1. Patrick's Day Festival was held on Saturday and
Sunday, March 15 & 16, at the Dublin Civic Plaza. This year's event highlighted the festival's 25th
Anniversary Celebration. For the second consecutive year, the festival was held at the Civic Plaza, with
the Firefighter's Pancake Breakfast moving back to Fire Station No. 16 and the Lion's Club Parade
moving back to the previous route used in 2006. Although the weather wasn't ideal, attendance was
consistent on both Saturday and Sunday though generally down from 2007 when the festival experienced
spring-like weather.
The Festival and Fun Run were well supported by local businesses. The City received $43,000 in
sponsorships for the weekend. The City also received overwhelming support from in-kind donations of
