The Irish have a reputation for knowing how to have a good time and since it's St Patrick’s Day, it's time to party like the Irish. Make an Irish stew, buy some Irish stout, decorate in green and invite your friends over for a bit of proper Irish craic. St Patrick's Day is a time for parades, Irish dancing, Irish music, looking green and having lots of fun! St Patrick’s Day, or Paddy's Day, as some Irish call it, is an annual feast day which celebrates St Patrick, one of the patron saints of Ireland. Saint Patrick is said to have driven the snakes from Ireland. It's …true that there are no snakes in Ireland. St Patrick's Day is celebrated worldwide. Everyone takes part in the festivities, especially Americans and Australians. The first St Patrick's Day parade was actually held in Boston, Massachusetts, in 1761 and was organized by the Charitable Irish Society. Parades now take place in all the Irish towns and villages, the biggest one being the parade in Dublin, which is part of a five-day celebration→
