Where To Celebrate St Patrick’s Day



St Patrick’s Day is one of the most celebrated holidays around the world. It is a religious and cultural festivity that takes place on March 17th, and which has spread far beyond Ireland to become popular throughout Europe, the United States and beyond. But each new country that adopts the Feast of Saint Patrick puts its own unique spin on it, meaning even experienced folk should enjoy a holiday overseas to see how the event compares elsewhere.
