Dublin Down on Fun
Paint the town green! Find the largest gathering of leprechauns at The Banks on Saturday, March 15.
“LepreCON has been years in the making,” says Saijal Andreadis Ryan, marketing director with 4EG. “I love a good play on words! Just like Comic-Con and SantaCon, LepreCON is a fun twist on the word ‘leprechaun’ that fits perfectly with revelry associated with the event.”
The bars and restaurants at The Banks are teaming up to host a the biggest St. Patrick's Day block party in the city during the third annual LepreCON.
“Seeing the streets packed with a sea of green is my favorite part!” says Saijal Andreadis Ryan. “There's something special about the community coming together, dressed up and celebrating in the spirit of St. Patrick’s Day.”
The 57th annual St. Patrick's Day parade steps off at noon, then the party starts at eight participating bars and restaurants, running from 2 to 9 p.m., with food and drink specials
“Having spent time in Ireland for St. Patrick’s Day, it’s incredible to see the community come together for big events like these—both at The Banks and at the pub,” says owner Danny Scott, owner of Red Leprechaun Irish Pub.
A stage will be set on Freedom Way with indoor and outdoor beverage sales available at all participating locations.
“This year marks the third annual LepreCON, and it just keeps getting bigger,” says Andeadis Ryan. “Last year, we saw over 25,000 people fill The Banks for the celebration, and the excitement continues to grow each year.:
