Everyone is Irish on Friday as the city celebrates St. Patrick's Day at local bars.
O'Maggio's Kildare House owner Vito Maggio says it's their busiest day of the year.
"It comes once a year on the 17th of March and we get ready for a great big party. What can I say? just one thing we have great entertainment, great food and the best part about it is everyone having a good time," says Maggio.

He says every year the party and anticipation is getting bigger.
"Obviously we can only bring so many people in the house. People lined up about 9am this morning actually to get here, but we try to get everybody in, we have the tent, we've got great capacity in there," says Maggio.
There was still a lineup at 1pm this afternoon to get into the bar but the tent in the parking lot still had lots of room for party-goers.
Maggio expects a crowd of over 500 throughout the day.
