The annual St. Patrick's Day party at Colby
College. Traditionally celebrated on the Saturday closest to St. Patrick's Day, students wake up at 4 am to drink green
beer and other alcoholic beverages with their friends. Swallowing a live goldfish is also part of the tradition for some people. When the event was jeopardized by local
police and school administrators in 2004, students rioted, causing over $20,000 in damage.
