SANTA ROSA, CA — St. Patrick's Day revelers danced like it was 2019 Wednesday during an outdoor celebration at The Bird restaurant in Santa Rosa.

The Doc Kraft Dance Band performed live for the "Dance Like It's 2019" event.

Wednesday marked one year since the start of the 2020 pandemic when stay-home orders were implemented in the Bay Area and beyond in an effort to prevent the spread of the coronavirus.
