Celebrate St. Patrick's Day at JohnMartin's

Bring out your green hats and beads! It's time to celebrate St. Patrick's Day and word on the streets: the best party is at JohnMartin's in Coral Gables. On Wednesday, March 17th, JohnMartin's Restaurant & Irish Pub will host the 20th Annual St. Patrick's Day Street Fair (along Salzedo Street and Aragon Avenue). The event starts at 5:00 p.m. and it is free and open to the public. There will be live Irish music throughout the evening as well as a special performance by a band called "UV." Watch this band hit the stage at 9:00 p.m. for an unforgettable U2 Tribute Show. In addition, JohnMartin's will donate a portion of all proceeds to benefit the Coral Gables Rotary Club, an organization of business and professional leaders who provide humanitarian services to help build goodwill and peace within their communities. This will certainly be the place to be on St. Patrick's Day! JohnMartin's is located at 253 Miracle Mile in the heart of Coral Gables.

Cheers and always remember to drink responsibly.
