Top 10 things to do this weekend

Here are some more photos from LEPRE*CON 2014, a St. Patrick's Day party at Park Tavern by a social mess.

Saturday

Returning for its fifth year of Irish-inspired mayhem, LEPRE*CON 2015 takes over Park Tavern, presented by A Social Mess.  The city’s most notorious St. Patrick’s Day festival draws more than 4,000 revelers for a party packed full of debauchery. Costumes are encouraged and rewarded, as always!  Festivities kick off at 2 p.m. and continue through the night.
Saturday March 14th is the biggest St. Patrick’s Day party in Atlanta – we’re closing down Buckhead Avenue (located inside the new Buckhead, Atlanta) and setting up stages, bars, beer gardens, food tents and more.

This parade celebrates all that is St. Patrick's Day with 2,000 dancers, musicians, and Irish enthusiasts, plus giant balloons, floats, and marching bands.  The parade rolls through Midtown heading south down Peachtree Street from 15th NE to 5th Street NE.

Festival goers can taste from a selection of 300 craft beers, local restaurant food, and enjoy live entertainment at Suwanee Town Center Park.  Proceeds benefit Kingdom Kids.

This is the only Welsh centered festival in Georgia!  It includes great Welsh and local entertainment, educational events, and a great a vendor’s village.  This event is fun for the whole family.

Friday, Saturday & Sunday

This funny tribute to the iconic TV show is full of music and comedy and all of your favorite characters - Lucy, Ricky, Fred and Ethel – at the Cobb Energy Center.   

Looking for a fun weekend getaway?  Head down to Brunswick and see Elvis performers compete at the Elvis festival at the Ritz Theater.
