After a successful St. Patrick’s Day parade in Denver on Saturday, in which organizers said over 200,000 spectators attended, Irish-themed businesses and organizations are primed to carry on today.
Doors to the The Keggs & Eggs gathering in Denver at Lodo’s Bar and Grill, 1946 Market St., opened this morning at 7 a.m. Early-morning revelers partied to the sounds of Reno Divorce, Darling Thieves and Ok Go!
Denver won’t be as busy as Dublin, where half a million people packed the Irish capitol’s parade route today, but Colorado celebrants can still get their fill of Irish music, dance and food at restaurants and bars throughout the metro area and along the Front Range.
Among the many entertainment offerings are: Brian Clancy & Irish Row at noon, Fadó Irish Pub, 1735 19th Street, Denver; Mulligan Stew at 3 p.m., Ned Kelly’s Irish Pub, 5686 South Sycamore St., Littleton; and Celtic Wind at 7:30 p.m., Slattery’s, 5364 Greenwood Plaza Blvd., Englewood.
