Dress up in your St. Patrick’s Day finery and join in the Lilburchaun fun
Get an early start on the lively festivities of St. Patrick’s Day with Lilburn’s annual Lilburchaun celebration on Saturday, an event that’s designed for the entire family. Whether you’re of Irish descent or are simply Irish for the day, everyone is welcome to join in the fun as the city’s park becomes a sea of green.
Organizers invite participants to dress in their most festive St. Paddy’s Day attire and take part in a parade, or simply be a spectator and enjoy all the costumes and pageantry. Even pets can take part and dress up for the occasion, and the best-dressed leprechauns, also known as Lilburchauns, will be crowned.
A car show will also be part of the event, with vehicles displayed in the parking lot next to the double-decker bus that’s on the park’s green space. Vehicle entries cost $20, and attendees are welcome to admire the cars for free and vote on awards, including kids’ choice. Funds from the car show will benefit community residents who have been diagnosed with cancer.
To add to the St. Paddy’s Day atmosphere, lively music and cultural performances will also be featured. Food trucks will be on-site, and you can see if the luck o’ the Irish is with you by participating in a silent auction and a raffle.
Lilburchaun, which is free to attend, will take place from 10 a.m.-2 p.m. Saturday at Lilburn City Park, 76 Main St. NW, Lilburn.
