St. Patrick's Day is one
of the best party times of the year. There are plenty of beers, parades,
beer, fun crowds and parties. The best of these are in Boston,
Chicago and Savannah, Ga., where 300,000 people pack the
streets for a mid-day parade, then head to River Street for a wild celebration.
The first bar opens at 6 a.m., they dye the river and
fountains green and the traditional t-shirt "event" takes
place around 3 on River Street. However, unlike when PubClub resided
in Savannah, there is now a cover charge to get onto River Street and
covers at the pubs (most of the bars are pretty small). It's fun but
bring cash, to the tune of $50 in addition to what you'll spend on your
green suds.
Lately PubClub has been hangin' closer to our California
World Headquarters. And that means the parade in Hermosa
Beach, CA , then down to the bars on Pier Ave., for a celebration
that lasts into the night. The PubClubettes were part of the festivities
in '07.
And don't overlook St. Patrick's Day paradise – in Honolulu, it's a block party that's almost as crazy as Mardi Gras. Well, almost.

St.
Patrick's Day in Chicago With Photos
People gather before the parade to watch the river being dyed green.
In Chicago, they go big.
There's a huge parade that begins with the dyeing of the river (10:45
a.m., intersection of Michigan Ave, Wacker Drive and the river). The
parade is always the Saturday prior to the actual St. Patrick's Day.
For 2008, the parade is Saturday, March 15.
The parade itself takes place along Columbus Drive, starting
at Balbo and continuing to Monroe. It always begins at noon.
Enjoy these photos fromt the 2007 parade and parade of
bars. It was cold, but in the Windy City, the parade must go on, regardless
of the weather.

The Bartender, PubClub's roving party animal, shows off his
in-the-St. Paddy's Day-spirit green shoes and found a bit of New York
spirit in the form of a visiting friend from the Big Apple.

Love" with the PubClubettes.
St.
Patrick's Day in New Orleans
Of course there's a parade in New Orleans!
Naturally, beads are part of the festivities. .The parade starts at
Felicity and Magazine Street. There's also a block party, often on the
15h.
The parade is put on by the Irish Channel St. Patrick's Day Club, which
was organized in the Channel in 1947 and has remained in the area with
its annual mass and parade for 60 years. Of course, all are welcome.
Drink up the drinks
are ready – and the girls are happy to comply.
And
in some places....
St. Patrick's Day is another excuse to
party by the seashore. This is in Southern California and that means
a beach volleyball tournament. There is some moderately serious play
among the coeds – before, during and after the actual tournament
– and plenty of St. Paddy's-inspired beverages.
Here's few shots, so to speak from one annual tournament in Manhattan
Beach, CA.
