Originating in 1994, the "Feast of Maximum Occupancy" is an annual gathering held in the city of Richmond Heights, Missouri between the Ides of March and St. Patrick's Day, or on the nearest Saturday to St. Patrick's Day. The stated goal is to gather as many persons into the building as possible, hence "maximum occupancy", though it is believed the event originated as a celebration of achieving maximum roommate occupancy and hence lowering rent payments to the smallest possible amount.
