Saint Patrick’s day is Ireland Week
St. Patrick’s Day isn’t until Tuesday next March 17, but the USA is feeling a wee bit Irish already, and you certainly don’t need to travel to Ireland for Ireland’s national day to experience some St. Patrick’s day fun.
Known in parts of the USA as Saint Paddy’s day or St. Patty’s day, the celebration of Irishness sees events take place far beyond the 24 hour confines of the day itself.
While New York and Boston are famous for their St. Patrick’s day celebrations, many cities in the USA celebrate St. Patrick’s day as part of Irish Week.
