In what is now an annual tradition around 30 Dalton, the Dropkick Murphys will be performing in Boston this weekend with four performances.
From Thursday through Sunday, one of the darling local acts of our city will split time between two venues. Performances on March 16, 17, and 18 will be at the new MGM Music Hall at Fenway while the March 19 set will be at House of Blues Boston. The band’s tour will be in support of their upcoming album “This Machine Still Kills Fascists”. The Celtic punksters are local and even derived their name from a local wrestler.
St. Patrick’s Parade
Since 1901, the parade has been a prominent part of our history near 30 Dalton. Over one million participants – all dressed in green – attend annually. The parade starts on West Broadway (easterly) and eventually concludes at Dorchester Ave.
This year’s event will feature marching bands and pipe bands from throughout North America. The parade travels through South Boston – Boston’s most Irish neighborhood.
St. Patrick’s Day Race
Corned beef and Guinness is all fine and good… but after you run the morning of St. Patrick’s Day. Hosted two hours before the start of the annual parade, the South Boston St. Patrick’s Day Race attracts all levels of participants.
