March 17 marks the date Saint Patrick is said to have died, traditionally given as the year 461. ☘️ Ireland made it a public holiday in 1903, and the parades spread from there.
The day works like a green flood warning. It starts as a trickle of shamrocks in shop windows around the 1st and by the 17th the whole street is under it.
- Dublin's parade is the biggest in Ireland, but the largest anywhere is in New York.
- The date is fixed, so a countdown set once will keep working every year you come back to it.
- Pubs fill up well before noon, which makes this one of the few countdowns people set for the morning. 🍀

Questions people ask
Is it always March 17?
Yes. The date does not move, though parades sometimes shift to the nearest weekend.
Why is it a big deal outside Ireland?
Irish emigration spread it. Cities with large Irish populations built their own parades, and some are now bigger than the ones back home.
