St Patrick's Day
March Irish holiday
St Patrick's Day is March 17th, a holiday honoring the patron saint of Ireland.
Originally a Catholic feast day, it has become a broader celebration of Irish culture and heritage, marked by parades, green clothing, shamrocks, and drinking.
The city dyes the river green for St Patrick's Day.
The holiday is observed enthusiastically in places with large Irish diaspora populations, especially the United States.
