BACKGROUND:
The 2011 St. Patrick's Day Festival was held on Saturday and Sunday, March 12 and 13, on
the grounds of the Dublin Civic Center. This year, the festival featured a new arts and crafts
vendor, a new carnival ride vendor and a variety of new food vendors. Staff received positive
comments from attendees on both the variety of food and the quality of the carnival, which
offered a nice blend of rides and amusements. The arts and crafts vendor sold-out the entire
100 booth spaces they were allotted. The remaining booth spaces that were designated for
sponsors, non-profit groups, businesses and commercial booths, were sold-out as well. Based
on onsite sales the estimated attendance for the event was approximately 60,000 which is
slightly higher than last year's estimated attendance of 55,000. This is despite the intermittent
rain which occurred on Sunday. Overall feedback from attendees and vendors was all very
positive. ~
Before the festival on Friday evening, March 11, the Dublin Sister City Association honored the
Mayor of Bray, Ireland at the annual Green & White Gal~ which was held at the Dublin Senior
Center. Nearly 100 attendees enjoyed the event.

Club on Saturday, March 12. The parade began at 9:30 a.m. and an estimated 10,000

served up plenty of green pancakes at the annual Pancake Breakfast which was held at Fire
Station #16 at the corner of Donohue Drive and Amador Valley Boulevard.
