The downtownATL.com newsletter is BACK for 2005, and we couldn't have picked a better weekend. The web site has been completely updated -- including sections for ongoing events by days of the week and past, present and future events by the week.

No need to travel all the way to Savannah this St. Patrick's Day weekend ...or even to Buckhead! All of the fun is taking place in the 7th largest Irish City in North America - in downtown Atlanta! Taking place over three days at Underground Atlanta, the 2005 St. Patrick's Day Family Festival will feature live traditional Irish music and performances by Celtic Irish Rock bands, as well as Irish dance contests, children's activities, Irish food and beverages and unique Irish vendors. Adding to the extravaganza, patrons will also want to catch the city's 124th Atlanta St. Patrick's Parade, which will culminate Saturday afternoon at Underground Atlanta!

For full information on St. Patrick's day and all of the other great events going on in downtown Atlanta please visit our web site. Hope to see you soon downtownATL!!!
