Every year on March 17, the Irish and the Irish-at-heart across the globe observe St. Patrick’s Day. What began as a religious feast day for the patron saint of Ireland has become an international festival celebrating Irish culture with parades, dancing, special foods and a whole lot of green. Enjoy an Irish blessing or two in the company of those closest to you with these events to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day. Please remember to drink responsibly.
