Lower Greenville prepares to go green

The Vanderbilt to Vickery Association announces the return of the biggest and best block party of its kind — the annual Lower Greenville Avenue St. Patrick’s Day Block Party — on Saturday, March 15. The Block Party opens at 9 a.m. and the fun continues until 6 p.m. on the streets of Lower Greenville between Vanderbilt and Vickery. The party has been a longstanding tradition for more than 30 years. Famous for pulling out all the stops, including plenty of beer, great music, dancing and food, the Lower Greenville St. Patrick’s Day Block Party is a fantastic celebration of Irish culture. Guests 21 and older are encouraged to dress the part. Wear green, bring shamrocks and come prepared for a day full of St. Patrick’s Day cheer. Entry to the Block Party includes access to the massive event’s three music stages, conveniently located near the participating bars and a wide selection of beers. Entry is $20 (cash only) at the gate and for ages 21 and older only. Beer tents (cash only) are conveniently located throughout the block party. ATMs will be located at each entry point and throughout the event grounds. Attendees are encouraged to plan travel and parking to accommodate various street closures in the area.
