We hope to give you and opportunity to relive Irish Day 2014, or if you happened to miss it a chance to take in the flavor of the day and make plans to attend next year.

Impossible to know exactly but the largest single day event in Calaveras County certainly lived up to it's billing and had thousands upon thousands filling Main Street. The top photo below was taken at 3:30pm looking up Main Street and well after peak crowd volume. The crowd on the street turned at least 2-3 times during the day....
