Gaslamp's ShamRock Block Party
Celebrate St. Patrick's Day, Gaslamp style. This is the ultimate block party.
Some call it the liveliest street party west of the big Mississippi. It's amazing
that everyone in San Diego claims to be Irish when March 17 rolls around.
What they really mean is they know how to party like the Irish. Each St. Patrick's
Day, the fun-lovers dig out their four-leaf clover luck and head to the streets of
the Gaslamp Quarter. If you ain't green, plan on getting pinched. I guess some
wouldn't complain about that. The more green you are, the more kisses you
can expect. If you complain about that, you may as well stay home. From
4:00 PM to Midnight, it's time to get down and get lucky. Irish style. In the
Gaslamp.
The Gaslamp turns its busy nightlife into a sea of green. Much of this 16-block area is closed to traffic as over 60,000 square feet of green You have to be at 21 years-old to attend. This ain't a place for children. The main entrance is usually at 6th and G Street and sell-out crowds topping over 20,000 attend. So it's wise to get your tickets well before the festival. Parking can be a hassle, So come early for the best available parking or plan on parking a long way from the event. For convenience, consider taking the San Diego Trolley and you may not need a designated driver. For More Information ShamRock Gaslamp |
