Didn't make it out to celebrate St. Patrick's Day? We have a few fun photos.
DUBLIN, CA — Thousands of people from all over the East Bay turned out to celebrate the City of Dublin's 36th annual St. Patrick's Day festivities last weekend. Everyone’s a little bit Irish on St. Patrick's Day, especially in Dublin!
On Friday night, the Green and White gala, hosted by the Dublin Sister Cities Association, kicked off the weekend celebrations. The Alameda County Fire Department hosted a massive pancake breakfast early Saturday morning. Proceeds from the breakfast benefitted the Alameda County Firefighters Association-Local 55 Charity Fund, which supports local non-profit and community-based organizations.
