When you have small towns that share the same name as giant international cities, it’s only fair to assume that these places will share the same events and festivities, too, right? Well, lucky for Dublin, Georgia residents, they do. Not only does this small town celebrate St. Patrick’s Day every year, but it offers six weeks of fun with events all leading up to the big day.
Dublin, Georgia is the type of town in Georgia that you want to visit during the weeks leading up to St. Patrick’s Day.
While Dublin is so much more than a historic spot established in the early 1800s, there are still many special places that have retained their charm over the past few centuries.
Your Irish eyes will be smiling all throughout those handful of weeks with various entertaining and sometimes downright delicious activities that the whole family will love.
Pig in the Park is a coveted event which takes place during the St. Patrick’s Day showdown, which gathers together families to come up with the best names for the pigs.
And then it all leads up to what is known as St. Patrick’s Super Saturday in Dublin—an entire day filled with food, live music, crafts, vendors, and of course, a parade!
