JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- The Jacksonville Beaches area is home for three Irish pubs, but it was the Jacksonville Landing that saw an economic boom on St. Patrick's Day. <\/p>\n
Fireworks returned to the Landing last year for the first time in five years. And the investment was worth it. Property sales increased by a third over previous years. <\/p>\n
It also didn't hurt that Fionn MacCool's Irish Pub opened just months before St. Patrick's Day, too. <\/p>\n
This year, the fireworks return and the party starts early. Live music is tonight through Sunday. On Sunday the schedule is live music 9 a.m. - 2 p.m., Yappy Hour St. \"Paw\"ty's Day Celebration for your pooch is 2-5 p.m. and the fireworks blast of for St. Pat's on the St. Johns at 9:30 p.m. <\/p>\n
At the beach, Lynch's, Culhane's and Fly's Tie Irish Pubs will be in full swing, and that means an economic boost for them and surrounding businesses. <\/p>\n
Culhane's calls the day their Super Bowl with an increase of 50 percent in sales, and Lynch's said they make a week and a half of income in one day. <\/p>\n
Surrounding business, such as bars, restaurants and hotels are also noting increases. <\/p>\n
