Celebrate St. Patrick’s Day Saturday, March 15 at Copper with bagpipers roaming the Village at Copper, a crazy street party, free live music by Skakedown Street, a St. Patty’s day themed En Feugo, aptly named O’Fuego, great bar specials, shamrocks, leprechauns and lots of green. Slainte!
Shakedown Street will be rocking Copper when they play a free live show on Saturday, March 15 starting at 3 p.m. at the West Lake Overlook. Shakedown Street has garnered a national reputation as being the mother of all Grateful Dead cover bands. Including the best of the Dead, original compositions and other great tunes.
Following the daytime merriment is a special St. Patty’s Day themed En Fuego, which Copper has dubbed O’Fuego, starting at 6:00 p.m. Copper is literally on fire with O’Fuego, regularly featuring bonfires scattered throughout the village, the Ski & Ride School torchlight parade, fire jugglers that dazzle, and the grand finale…GREEN fireworks over the mountain! The specialty entertainment for this O’Fuego will be a free concert by the M.T.H.D.S. (an acronym that stands for Music That Heightens Different Senses). Equal parts shred-driven funk, melodic hip-hop and rhythmic reggae.
