What to Know for St. Paddy's Day Weekend in Dunedin
Between Cricketers three-day parking lot party and Flanagan's two-day street festival, here's everything you need to plan for St. Patrick's Day weekend in Dunedin.
Two outdoor multi-day bashes and one weekend.

Drink all the green beer you can suck down! But don't eat the food until you walk down the Ally behind the event (between Main st and Wood st) and see the rats big enough to eat a cat and the trash on the ground, and the grease everywhere and the screens with holes in them and two guys smoking that look like they gave up bathing years ago!
