Shamrock Festival 2010

Whats better than a St. Patricks Day Festival??? Yeah, I can’t think of anything either.
This years event was held in the parking lot of RFK Stadium. This thing is pretty darn cool, they bring in beer trailers of all your typical Irish beers and more, Guiness, Killians, Bass, Miller Lite, Red Stripe etc.
It’s more than just beer, they had a stage where they had a like 30 or 40 bands playing, including «The Roots». Yeah I was drinking, I missed them. But they also have various tents where they have different themes. There was a hip hop tent, irish music tent, etc. They also had beer pong going on in the tents.
In terms of food they had typical carnival food like corn dogs, bbq, funnel cake, etc.
I paid for the VIP ticket ($ 85), which gave you special access to all the areas at the event, plus unlimited beer. I would definately recommend this. When there are all these different types of beer, no limit is the way to go.
The only knock on this place was it rained this year, but that was no ones fault, it was still a kick ass time. They tented this festival pretty good so you could find a way not to get wet.
Another positive, is I’ve never seen so many porto-​potties in my life, there were definately lines, but it was the best toilet line-​ups I’ve ever seen at an event.
I hear the festivals location changes from time to time, so we will see where it is next year.
All in all a great time, I would recommend it.
