My family and I have been celebrating St. Patrick's w/e in OC for the last 9 years.  There is so much to see and do, I'll try and list some of my family's favorites:

1.  Parade - can't miss all the fun, excitement, and great St. Pat's attire!
2.  Festival - 45th Street has a wonderful festival with vendors, food, music, etc.
3.  Boardwalk - you will find several shops open on the weekends throughout the year, and if the weather is nice, great time to pick up must-have's for summer at wonderful prices.
4.  Seacrets - this is for the adults, but Seacrets has a fabulous St. Patrick's Day party following the parade.  Mike "Batman" Beatty plays, as well as great bands and of course the bagpipe band.
5.  Food - almost every restaurant in OC will have some sort of special for St. Patrick's Day.  Indulge.
6.  Shenanigan's - can't miss this Irish bar on St. Patrick's weekend!

Have a wonderful time!

I have not seen cinnamon popcorn at any of the businesses.  However you can purchase the seasonings and sprinkle on your popcorn to create a one-of-a-kind Fisher's, Dolle's or whomever's popcorn.....  You can find cinnamon seasonings through Amazon (the apple cinnamon is fabulous!).
