Proudly representing the Irish flag the 6th Annual Shamrock Festival
For those of you lucky enough to have attended Washington, DC's 6th Annual Shamrock Fest last Saturday you may have noticed a few things. First off the weather couldn't have been better with the sun shinning brightly and temperatures in the 60's. Also, there was three times the space this year with HiBall Events' decision to move the festival away from the crowded Ballston area to the open parking lot at RFK. Many people initially complained about this change of venue and even protested with Anti-Shamrock Fest parties, but I for one appreciated more entrances, more beer taps, and more bathrooms
The increase in area allowed for more entertainment. Seven enormous performance stages showcased more than forty live acts. Those not interested in the music could stroll over to a climbing wall or take a ride on one of the carnival-like amusements.
Even if you didn't get there to enjoy a plastic cup of the 101 kegs of green beer, Shamrock Fest turned out to be a success that this attendee plains to frequent for years to come.

I totally took this pic. My friend actually gave me credit for it as well. Thank you MrRIDriver, who's name I will withhold, for getting my pic into the DC guide! This pic was taken right during Flogging Molly, which was the last concert of the night. I will tell you my first name is Will and I am active duty AF stationed at Fort George G Meade. I try to attend as many mainstream concert events as possible and I went to Warped Tour twice last year but neither compared to Shamrock Fest. I eagerly await next year and more photo ops to come in time. My myspace page is www.myspace.com/XX117. Thanks again for choosing my pic!

I had an awesome time there. I'm going next year, and I must say that RFK had soooooooo much more space than Ballston.
