COLORADO SPRINGS — It's already New Year's Day in Ireland, and people in Colorado Springs are celebrating with the Irish.

People at Jack Quinn's Pub Downtown rang in the Irish new year at 5 p.m., which is midnight in Dublin. Party-goers enjoyed live music, food and drinks in a festive atmosphere.

"This is a great way for Jack Quinn's to finish the year," said Meredith Klube, Managing Partner and Business Manager. "Things go a little uncertain for restaurants in January and February, so it's great to have an evening packed full of people on the last night of the year."

An Irish new year tradition includes opening the back door at midnight to bid the previous new year farewell, then opening the front door to welcome the new year.
