Kiss Me, I'm Irish!

OK I'll be honest, I've never actually seen anyone celebrate St. Patrick's Day... St. Patty's Day? I think the most my family did for this year's St. Patty's is buy a cookie cake.

But if I could celebrate St. Patrick's Day one year it would be at Dublin, Ireland for their FOUR day St. Patrick's Festival! FOUR DAYS to celebrate St. Patty's with millions of people.


A LITTLE BACKGROUND

While St. Patrick's Day started out as a religious tradition, commemorating Saint Patrick, it grew into celebrating the ethnicity of the Irish people. The St. Patrick's Festival started in 1995 to showcase the talents and achievements of the people of Ireland, and where it once was a one day event it grew to four days in 2001.



This event is filled with all the makings of a great party. Enjoy parades, music, and dancing where you can eat, drink and be merry with millions of other strangers! If they were strangers before, they won't be at the end.

This is that time of the year when you can celebrate being Irish!... Even if you're not..

  1. I'm right there with you, Leslie. The "big plans" I had for this year turned out to be my cousin taking me to her friend's house where we played Just Dance on Konnect.
