St. Patrick's Day Around the World
St. Patrick's Day, made an official Christian feast day in the early seventeenth century, is celebrated on March 17th each year. It commemorates Saint Patrick and celebrates the heritage and culture of the Irish. The largest celebrations are held in Dublin, Ireland, but there are plenty of other St. Patty's Day parties around the world...because, whether we have Irish heritage in our bloodline or not, everyone is a little bit Irish on St. Patty's Day!
Ireland
Ireland's national saint - St. Patrick - is celebrated throughout the country from March 14 to March 17. Dublin is home to the biggest celebrations (4 days of city-wide events), but parades, street carnivals and parties are also held in Cork, Kilkenny, Limerick and beyond.

Montserrat, Caribbean
Monsterrat has an interesting link to Ireland. In the 17th Century, Irish Catholic indentured servants were welcomed to the tiny volcanic island at a time when they were shunned in most other English-controlled islands of the Caribbean. The Irish mixed freely with the African slaves brought towork the English sugar plantations, and a unique Afro-Irish culture developed. St. Patrick's Day is celebrated each year with a week-long festival culminating in St Patrick's Day. It's also a commemoration of the slave uprising on the same day in 1768.
