St Patrick's Day 17th March - How will you celebrate?

St Patrick’s day today - how will you celebrate? Thankfully the ‘dry January’ days are well behind us so we can indulge guilt free in a little tipple of traditional whisky or a sturdy pint of Guinness. But where should you spend this party day? Who does it best?

  • In New York you can marvel at the spectacular parade that still takes place every year with over 200,000 people on foot marching down 5th
  • Chicago is quite a sight to behold as it marks the date with a dye that turns the Chicago river a deep emerald.
  • London hosts a parade with bands and floats travelling the route from Green Park to Trafalgar square via many a well placed Irish pub.
  • The iconic Sydney opera house glows a beautiful green and unites the city in high spirited huge parade, commonly thought one of the biggest in the world.
  • Go to the heart of the Irish Isle and set up camp in Dublin for a 5 days marathon of celebrations which are sure to keep you dancing a enjoying the craic well into the small hours.
