About the date
March 17 is the traditional date of the death of Saint Patrick, the patron saint of Ireland. It is a public holiday in Ireland.
In the United States it is not a federal holiday, and parades are often held on the nearest weekend rather than on the day itself, so check your city’s date. Chicago has dyed its river green for the occasion since 1962.
