Today is March 17th - St. Patrick's Day - and like other cities, here in Denver the annual St. Patrick's Day parade was held this past Saturday, attracting huge crowds, who lingered the rest of the afternoon at the bars in the LoDo and Ballpark neighborhoods. Which was when I took the photograph on the left of the crowd at Scruffy Murphy's, although it was a hard thing to do since so many people were walking in and out of the place. And I am still not sure how people were able to move around in there once they got inside.
And will there be crowds celebrating St. Patrick's Day today? Since it is a Friday, I suspect things will start hopping around happy hour and continue into the wee hours. There is nothing more popular for the younger crowd here in Denver than celebrating holidays such as St. Patrick's Day, Opening Day of the baseball season, Halloween, Oktoberfest, and even the 4th of July. And will everybody be dressed in kilts, carrying their bagpipes and fiddles to the bars, giving impromptu concerts? Better head to Dublin for that, I'm afraid.
