About St. Patrick's Day
St. Patrick's Day is celebrated on March 17th, the traditional death date of Saint Patrick, the foremost patron saint of Ireland. The holiday commemorates the arrival of Christianity in Ireland and celebrates Irish culture and heritage. Traditions include wearing green, parades, music, dancing, and enjoying Irish food and drink. Major celebrations take place in Dublin, New York City, Chicago (which dyes the Chicago River green), and cities worldwide with significant Irish communities.
How to prepare for St. Patrick's Day
Plan your green outfit early — from subtle accessories to full leprechaun attire, the choice is yours. If you're near a major city like Dublin, New York, or Chicago, check parade routes and times in advance and arrive early for the best views. Host an Irish-themed dinner with classics like shepherd's pie, soda bread, colcannon, and Irish stew. Learn a few facts about Irish history and culture to share at gatherings. Book pub reservations if eating out, as restaurants fill up fast.
