Hey Folks!
St. Patrick’s Day
March 17th
The day commemorates Patrick, the patron saint of Ireland, who brought Christianity to Ireland in the Fifth Century.
Started in 1762, the New York City parade has become the largest St. Patrick’s Day parade in the world.
The shortest St. Pat’s Day parade takes place in Dripsey, a village in County Cork. The parade is only100 yards and travels between The Lee Valley Inn and The Weigh Inn, the village’s two pubs.
