Top Spots To Party On St. Patrick's Day

St. Patrick's Day is the day for all folk to celebrate the day honoring the patron saint of Ireland, St. Patrick. Whether you bleed green or you are an honorary Irish on March 17 every year, Saint Patrick's Day is a festive day for everybody to drink plenty of beers and rejoice in the streets. Here are a handful of towns that have extraordinary St. Patrick's Day celebrations. If you're as obsessive about the holiday as many people are, you want to stop by each one of these cities on Saint Patrick's Day at least once in your life.

Dublin, Ireland

Understandable, right? Not only do the people of Dublin, Ireland understand how to throw a good party with masses of foolishness and beer, but also St. Patrick's Day is their holiday, so everything is larger and greener. The town of Dublin is modified into all things Saint Patrick's Day in the week celebrating the holiday. The Saint Patrick's Day parade occurs on the day of the 17th. They also have a countdown to the important day. If you want to see St. Patrick's Day larger and better than any place else in the world, you need to go to Dublin.

Boston, Massachusetts

Boston might just as well be known as the Dublin of the West. Boston has over 25% of their inhabitants descending directly from Ireland herself. They could be one of the most proud-Irish towns in the United States. Boston celebrates the Irish heritage walk, the parade, and many bagpipers and bands straight from Eire. Generally more than 600,000 folks show up. Plus, the Bostonians are renowned for being able to throw a unforgettable party. Be prepared not to sleep for the week surrounding St. Patrick's Day as the historical town of Boston will be changed into shamrocks, leprechauns, and a straight-up good time!

Chicago, Illinois

What town in the world dies their entire river green? Chicago, that is who. Since 1957, Chicago has died their enormous Chicago River green and celebrated with a massive parade complete with all things St. Patrick's Day. Over 1 million of Chicago's inhabitants are of Irish descendency, so you better make sure that their town is going to go hell for leather. But don't worry, the die they throw into the river is an all natural plant die. On top of everything, the parade hasn't ever been canceled. Rain or shine, the show must go on. Now that is dedication!

Big Apple, New York

2011 marks the 250th anniversary of the New York City annual Saint Patrick's Day Parade. Over 150,000 marchers take part and over millions of people show up to watch the consequential route down 5th Avenue. The parade is put on wholly by volunteers and donors who run the planet's oldest, and biggest, parade. Furthermore, after the parade all the spectators hit up the standard Irish bars spread around NY City. NY is always famous for doing things bigger and better, and this parade is no different.

Buenos Aires, Argentina

You could be puzzling over why Argentina would have one of the most important St. Patrick's Day Celebrations on the face of the earth. Actually Argentina has the 5th largest Irish community outside of Ireland due to the 1806 English invasion with mostly Irish soldiers. It is expected to see over 50,000 players in the St. Patrick's Day Parade there, and since autumn is just starting in March in the southern hemisphere, the climate will be a delight. Nevertheless don't order the Guiness. They can be up to 20 pesos in a bar which is twice the cost of domestic beers.
