The country's favorite drinking holiday lands on a Monday this year—so if you're gonna party like an Irishman, you'd better have done it last night. However, if you managed to avoid a hangover, there's still plenty of celebrating to do, like at the 8th Annual St. Patrick's Day Celebration and Green Festival. Don your favorite green garb and come to the OC Marketplace for professionally trained Irish dancers; live music from Marston Smith, Lord of the Cello; a stilt-walking tree; a trash-talking leprechaun; a fashion show featuring clothing made of recycled materials; free green mint ice-cream cones (with coupon), and gourmet food trucks slinging special Irish menus and green food specials.
