The 39th Dublin Lions Club St. Patrick's Day Parade and the City of Dublin's annual Shamrock 5K Fun Run and Walk, all part of the St. Patrick's Day weekend of events, taking place March 18-19, will require street closures in support of these events.
On Saturday, March 18, the Dublin Lions Club St. Patrick's Day Parade will require closure of Amador Plaza Road between Dublin Boulevard and Amador Valley Boulevard from 7:00 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. Additional closures from 8:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. include:

During the Shamrock Fun Run & Walk, community members are advised that closed lanes of traffic cannot be crossed until there is a break in the line of racers. Police officers and course monitors will be positioned at key intersections to help direct people safely out of their neighborhoods. Additionally, "No Parking" zones will be posted on the race route along northbound Village Parkway, eastbound Amador Valley Boulevard, southbound York Drive, and northbound Penn Drive. If a residence is located along a "No Parking" zone, the City recommends that residents park their cars across the street from their residence or outside of the race route.
Parking is free at BART stations throughout the Bay Area during the weekends. At either the East or West Dublin BART Stations, take the Wheels Rapid 30R Bus for free which will take you to the festival entry at Dublin Boulevard and Civic Plaza. No passes required - just tell the driver you are headed to the festival for your free ride! Riders should collect a free pass from the Wheels driver for the return ride.
During the festival, Wheels will also pay half your fare (up to $5) for rideshare trips within Dublin, Pleasanton, and Livermore on UBER and Lyft. For Lyft, go to your payment methods and add a Lyft Pass with the code GOTRIVALLEY. For Uber, visit https://wheelsbus.com/gotrivalley and download the Uber voucher. The Go Tri-Valley discounts will be applied automatically.
