March brings all sorts of madness to St. Paul, starting with LuckyPalooza on Saturday.

The annual two-block street party on West Seventh Street is an early start to St. Patrick’s Day festivities and celebrates the state high school hockey tournament at the Xcel Energy Center. The traditional St. Patrick’s Day parade is March 16 in downtown St. Paul.

LuckyPalooza will have live music, food, drinks, extreme sports exhibitions and mechanical bull rides that will remind some people of the 1980 John Travolta movie “Urban Cowboy.” Three party tents are set up at Burger Moe’s, Cossetta and Patrick McGovern’s.

LuckyPalooza starts at 2 p.m. and goes until 11 p.m. on the street, later in the tents and moves inside until the bars close. The hockey games will be broadcast on a jumbotron outside Tom Reid’s.
