Shamrock Fest 2009 is taking place at RFK Stadium in Washington DC today for St. Patrick's Day and it includes more than 50 live bands, unlimited green beer and of course, a few leprechauns thrown in for good measure.

The streets of Washington DC are closed down to cars for a 40 acre area where bands can play, DJs can spin, people can Irish dance or you can just take part in some traditional Irish pub games.
