DJ Pauly D plays at Shamrock Fest this Saturday. (Details below)
Jennifer Hudson, DJ Pauly D and Red Riding Hood starlet Amanda Seyfried all come to DC within the same week.
There’s something to be said for a town like Washington, where the people work all-day long, and then still have the energy to party through the night.
Maybe that’s why A-list actors, artists and musicians love coming here.
Take for instance Jennifer Hudson. She rocked the house at a private concert at Longview Gallery on 9th street Wednesday night. The intimate crowd was made up of television and radio executives, and winners of the My Magic 102.3 on-air promotion to hear J-Hud perform songs from her new album, “I Remember Me” to be released March 22.

AND THE PARTY DOES NOT STOP…
Coming into town this weekend for Shamrock Fest is DJ Pauly D, star of the hit MTV reality series, “Jersey Shore.” He is slated to “beat that beat up,” with the rock band Dropkick Murphys and as Shamrock Fest founder Mike Harrigan tells DC on Heels, “Pauly D is actually really excited to be coming to DC.”
Expected to be entertained and expect the unexpected, says Harrigan. His favorite moment from the past 11 years of putting on Shamrock Fest is from 2008 when Russell Crowe, who was in town for a movie, came to the festival and then jumped up on stage and started singing with a band.

“It was pretty awesome,” says Harrigan, who is Irish. Shamrock Fest is this Saturday at RFK Stadium from 12:30-9pm.
