Saturday was a chilly day, but that didn’t stop folks from wrapping up St. Patty’s Day celebrations in Downtown Mobile.
Attendees celebrated all day long on Charleston Street with food, drinks, and live music.
“It’s good. It’s good for the neighborhood. The neighbors come. It’s kid-friendly, there’s food, drinks, everybody has a good time and everybody is Irish on St. Patrick’s Day,” said Sheila Colvin.“You’ve got to have green beer and you’ve got to have a burger at Callaghan’s. They’re number one.”Many tell FOX10 News that the street party is a close runner-up to Mobile’s Mardi Gras celebrations.
“It’s the best day ever. It’s my second favorite holiday after Mardi Gras and we are so happy to be here.” “It’s packed, it’s wild, everybody’s green. I think everybody’s ready to party, especially this one.”“It’s been amazing. Vegabonds are playing now, we had the Midtowners, and then Irish traditional music earlier this morning to start us off.”“We’re having fun. Lots of partying going on down here. Lots of love out here. We love it down here.”
