• Throughout history, St. Patrick's Day has been celebrated with alcohol consumption. This is because many Irish-American Catholics are required to fast from alcohol consumption during Lent, but they are invited to take a break from alcohol fasting for St. Patrick's Day.
• Many major cities hold large parades to celebrate St. Patrick's Day, including New York, Boston, Philadelphia, Savannah, New Orleans, and many more. These large St. Patrick's Day parades bring locals and non-locals together to celebrate one of the most festive holidays.
• Did you know that Chicago dyes its entire river green for St. Patrick's Day? The White House also participates, dyeing its fountain green for the holiday.
• Have you ever had a green beer on St. Patrick's Day? This is one of the most popular restaurant and bar traditions, as simply adding green dye to a beer or beverage can make for an amazingly festive celebration.
• In the Northeast, they celebrate St. Patrick's Day by planting peas. Not only does March signify prime pea-planting conditions, but it is also perfect due to its green hue.
• Many still celebrate St. Patrick's Day for its religious context, so many will hold religious services where a feast is held.
