St. Patrick’s Day is a day in which everyone can celebrate their Irish roots, whether they have any or not. Many cities and towns host parades or other celebrations, but if yours doesn’t, you can still make your own fun. If St. Patrick’s Day falls on a Saturday, host a neighborhood St. Patrick’s Day parade.
