St. Patrick’s Day 2027 Tour 7 p.m. (Doors: 6 p.m.) Dropkick Murphys proudly remain Boston’s rock ‘n’ roll underdogs turned champions. Since 1996, the boys have created the kind of music that’s meant to be chanted at last call, in packed arenas, and during the fourth quarter, third period, or ninth inning of a comeback rally. Their celebrated discography includes four consecutive Billboard top 10 album debuts ("Turn Up That Dial," "11 Short Stories Of Pain & Glory," "Signed and Sealed in Blood," "Going Out In Style"), along with 2005’s Certified-Gold album "The Warrior’s Code" featuring the double platinum classic “I’m Shipping Up To Boston.” Whether you caught a legendary gig at The Rathskeller (The Rat) under Kenmore Square, found the band by taking the T to Newbury Comics to cop Do Or Die in ’98, discovered them in Martin Scorsese’s Academy Award winning The Departed, or saw ‘em throw down at Coachella (or one of hundreds of other festivals), you’ve become a part of their extended family.

Halloween is getting a four-legged twist at Margaritaville Hotel San Diego Gaslamp Quarter, where the hotel’s pup-friendly rooftop Yappy Hour will transform 5 o’Clock Somewhere Bar into a festive Howl-O-Ween celebration on Thursday, October 29 from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. The festive evening puts a fun spin on the hotel’s weekly Yappy Hour, inviting local dog lovers to bring their pups for an afternoon of Halloween fun, including a dog costume contest, festive treats and a Halloween pup parade against the backdrop of the rooftop bar. The costume contest will kick off around 5:30 p.m., giving guests plenty of time to arrive, settle in and show off their pups’ Halloween looks before the parade. One lucky winner will receive a one-night stay at Margaritaville Hotel San Diego, plus a $50 dining credit, pending approval from the hotel team. The second-place winner will receive a gift basket from Kahoots Gaslamp. Guests arriving with pups dressed in their Halloween best can also receive fun dog-themed handouts, available while supplies last. For the humans, the bar will offer its regular happy hour cocktail deals, plus one festive specialty cocktail created just for the occasion: The Black Bat, made with tequila, lime and black agave syrup. A playful bat- or dog-themed stir stick will add an extra Halloween touch to each cocktail. Beyond the costumes, the regular Yappy Hour experience is designed with dogs in mind, featuring a menu of canine-friendly “barktails” and bites. Pups can cool down with a Pawgarita, a cucumber-and-ice blend, or a Pupa Colada made with coconut purée, while the food menu includes options like Canine Crudité, a Bark Burger made with a grilled beef patty and Paw-lickin’ Chicken. With festive cocktails, costumed pups, a rooftop parade and plenty of photo-worthy moments, the Howl-O-Ween celebration offers a playful way for San Diego dog lovers to celebrate Halloween together.
