Saint Patrick's Day Parade and Festival
Dublin is known for its Saint Patrick's Day Parade, sponsored by the Dublin Host Lions Club. Every year around Saint Patrick's Day many tourists from all around Alameda County and the Tri-Valley show up to enjoy the festivities. The parade is followed by an all-weekend fair, where one can buy various knick-knacks and other items usually sold at fairs.
In 2007, the fair was moved to Dublin Blvd. which connected the fair to the growing population in East Dublin and increased the fair's size.
