Deadwood is a traditional place for the gathering of Irish and their supporters. Many of the early mining workers were of Irish descent and an Irish-based group of priests and nuns started churches, schools and hospitals in the Lead-Deadwood area in the late 1800s.

Last year’s Saturday pub crawl drew approximately 700 participants, and turnout for a poker run was nearly that high, according to a news release.
