  • St. Patrick’s Day began in 1631 with a Church sanctioned feast honoring the Patron Saint of Ireland.
  • The color green officially became the color of St. Patrick’s Day in 1798, the year of the Irish Rebellion.
  • It wasn’t until the late 20th century that Ireland repealed a law that initially kept businesses closed including pubs and bars shut on St. Patrick’s Day.

Here are the top U.S. St. Patrick Day Parades per the International Business Times:

  1. New York City – Over 2 million revelers
  2. Chicagom, IL – Turn the river green at the famous Dyeing The River event.
  3. Boston, MA – The oldest city parade in America, as it was first held in 1737
  4. Savannah, GA – Measuring parade size by number of spectators relative to a city’s population, Savannah would home to the largest St. Patrick’s Day parade in the U.S.
  5. Kansas City, MO – With roots to 19th century Irish migration
  6. San Francisco, CA – One of the biggest parades in California
  7. Philadelphia, PA – The parade in Philadelphia is older than the nation itself, first held in 1771
