For Finnegan’s Irish Pub and Restaurant, it’s that time of the year.

The establishment at 6002 Pacific Ave. in Stockton is again putting together an epic St. Patrick’s Day party. Try three days and nights of green beer and corned beef infused shenanigans.

According to organizers, last year’s event drew well over 1,200 folks who enjoyed live music, dancing and hanging out at the outdoor beer garden.

Expect much of the same for 2015.

DJ Ginga Ninja is scheduled to rock the big stage inside on Saturday (March 14) beginning at 9 p.m., with DJ Porkchop doing much of the same on the outside dance floor. Live music will include the band, Operocia.

Sunday is brunch day at Finnegan’s – free donuts and coffee with brunch – along with a chance to have your named engraved on an official Guinness pint glass later that day.

Tuesday, St. Patrick’s Day, will again feature DJ Ginga Ninja and Dr. Porkshop. Musical performances will be provided by the likes of Red Devil Lie and the 209 All Stars.
