This is one day of the year where we people of Irish descent let everyone else be Irish too.
In America, we celebrate with lots of beer, food and parades, as they’ve done in Ireland since (finally) 1997. America had its first parades in the 1700s.
St. Patrick’s Day parade, Dublin
St. Patrick’s Day parade, Cleveland
Irish cuisine is so much more than corned beef, cabbage and potatoes, so here’s some links to websites that celebrate Irish food, as well as information about St. Patrick and Irish history and traditions.

Erin Go Bragh.
I marched in many St. Patrick’s Day Parades in NYC. I’m Sicilian, but the fellows gave me a name plate to wear on the special day. The name was “Murphy”. Nobody ever questioned it (LOL!).
Happy St Patrick’s Day 🍀
