Hotel Shattuck Plaza | 2086 Allston Way | $25 adv / $30 at door (including unlimited complimentary beer)
Come to the first-ever St. Patrick's Eve Sing-Along Championship for a night of boisterous singing and frivolity! Contestants lead a sing-along of their favorite tune and get scored based on audience participation (not skill!) in the format of Dancing with the Stars. Sing to compete for the Grand Prize of a "mirror-on-a-ball" trophy, or just come to support your friends! Either way, Berkeley's Best Beer is "on the house" with your entrance ticket! Televised by Local BETV Channel 28. All proceeds benefit Leadership East Bay. Purchase tickets online at LeadershipEastBay.com or at the door (if still available).
