Chicago dyes their rivers green, but San Diego carpets the streets of the Gaslamp Quarter with Astroturf. It’s time to get lucky and have some fun at shamROCK 2010, the greenest place West of Dublin, Ireland.

Wednesday, March 17th, St. Patrick’s Day, from 4:00 PM to Midnight, the Gaslamp will make its magical transformation into the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. ShamROCK 2010 will feature traditional Irish music, food and dance, but there will also be three stages of live entertainment.

St. Patrick’s Day Music San Diego

These stages will host the coolest DJ’s, biggest bands and the hottest go-go dancers you’ve ever laid your emerald eyes on! The headline bands will be the Young Dubliners, The Downs Family and Raggle Taggle.

Let’s just say the beer and Irish whiskey will be flowing tomorrow with the 20,000 plus visitors that come to downtown San Diego to partake in the annual festival.

Take Notice that shamROCK will be offering a much needed designated driver program, with FREE rides home to anywhere in San Diego County to any party goer with a shamROCK wristband.
