St. Patrick's Day Celebration 2021

[Nibbins]

I'm happy to see the coaster lineup is changing, at least, after 4 months.

Also noticed this next weekend (last of Mardi Gras, warm) was already full as of last night for member reservations.

This weekend has spots available in all sessions right now.
They list the session 2 slots for Saturday and Sunday as sold out though since they only have 1 session now.

Either that or they held back some slots and released them this morning.

Fun behind the scenes fact: Public records filings from the park contain constant hilarious misspellings. It doesn't really matter at all of course—normal people never see this stuff and everyone who does knows what it means—but it can be pretty entertaining as a third party observer.

I like how you said, “normal people.”?

Yeah, if you spend your days on a theme park fan forum, you surrender your "normal" card.

Celtic Fyre with face masks? I know it’s not included in the event but seeing this really intrigued me for later in the season.

For the record, an Irish dance show of some kind named “Celtic Celebration” is advertised for this event.

I'm guessing it will be on the small stage outside the Abby Stone theater.

Wonder if they still have the Killarney Kommotion stage ?

It's going into Das Festhaus:

• CELTIC CELEBRATION: A BUSCH GARDENS TRIBUTE TO IRISH DANCE – Celebrating 20 years of Irish dance at Busch Gardens, this tribute on Das Festhaus stage honors favorite performances through the years such as Irish Thunder, Emerald Beat and Celtic Fyre. Sing along to classic tunes celebrating Irish tradition and immerse yourself in the thunderous sound of step dance.

We're getting more Irish dance in San Marco as well.

• LOCAL IRISH DANCE SCHOOLS – Support Virginia’s Irish Dance Schools as they show off their amazing local talent on Saturdays in San Marco Theatre.

I believe it was recycled into the Pantheon station.

German Irish and Italian Irish or Irish German and Irish Italian? I’ve confused myself.

 

[Jonesta6]

Meh, Germans and the Irish are far more compatible for their shared beer and potato heritages (though obviously different in ales vs lagers and the whole potato famine thing), whereas Italians are a wine country and have seafood and pasta...

So maybe I'm hungry when writing this, all sounds good to me

We prefer the term...Germish

Sometimes a reservation will pop up due to cancellations, I've grabbed them myself. I have yet to see any for last weekend of Feb. and while there were some single ticket holder ones avail. Wednesday those were gone yesterday morning too.

My point is, if like me you have ceased to worry about being able to get a reservation, that's changed with the arrival of warmth.

Look at the day sessions. There are no night sessions. Both today and tomorrow have availability.

Figured it out due to your persistence. I was using https://buschgardens.com/williamsburg/tickets/reservations/ which usually works. But if you go through the Mardi Gras page you get https://buschgardens.com/williamsburg/tickets/reservations-special-event/ which shows Feb. only.

 

[pizzathieff]

Apollo is testing today!

 

[horsesboy]

Not sure where best to put this so I am placing it here since this is the next event on the sedchule. They are using Trapper's main serving line for the event today and it looks like there is activity going on at Royal Palace could we see that used soon for shows?

 

[Mwe BGW]

I guess they are painting Griffon and the theater

 

[boston191]

When I made my reservation for this Saturday i got the session 1 starting at 10am. Now the Web site on my phone has the hours as 12-7. I went back to the reservations page and they are still taking reservations for sessions 1 and 2. Anyone know which is wich?

 

[Celticdog]

There is only one session for March 6. Second sessions don't start until March 13 and most are only on Saturdays. You are correct that session 1 for March 6th starts at 12.
The calendar has the sessions and the times listed: https://buschgardens.com/williamsburg/park-info/theme-park-hours/
