This June the oldest soft drink bottling plant in the world will commemorate it’s 117th Birthday and Dublin Dr Pepper invites you to help us celebrate.
Festivities officially begin on Monday, June 9 when for one week the Dublin city limit signs are changed to Dr Pepper, Texas. Friday night Alleyfest will be in full swing with loads of food, craft and art vendors. There will also be great entertainment by "10to4", our own house band, and Big Country Dinner Theatre.
But early Saturday is when the real fun begins starting with the 10-2-4k runs. No matter what level runner you are, we’ve got the run for you! The 10-2-4k run is a charity run with all proceeds going to the local Lions Club.
After the run award ceremonies, there will be plenty of entertainment to fill the rest of the day. This year’s birthday theme harkens back to 60’s Las Vegas. Showgirls, magicians and a visit from “The King” are all in store.
Listen thru-out the day to the Dublin D.P. house band “10 to 4”. Layne Golden and the band will rock you with songs from right off the strip. You’ll recognize old standards by Dean Martin and Frank Sinatra as well as many others.
Magician David Hira will mystify and amaze you when he brings his Vegas-style magic act to the Dr Pepper Stage. Catch him three times thru the day.
And to cap off the day....what Vegas tribute would be complete without a visit from the King himself? World famous Elvis tribute artist Johnny Rockit will be here in concert! You don't want to miss that!
Visitors will be treated to free Dublin Dr Pepper and free tours of the bottling plant and museum all day long. And of course, everyone will also be invited to share in Dublin Dr Pepper's huge 117th birthday cake.
Its going to be another great birthday, but only if you join us!
