St. Patrick's Day is celebrated each year on March 17. The day honors St. Patrick, the patron saint of Ireland, but it's also a celebration of Irish culture. Although St. Patrick's Day is celebrated around the world by people who can trace their lineage to the Emerald Isle, millions more with no such heritage join in the festivities each year. That means anyone who is Irish or just Irish in spirit can take part in St. Patrick's Day celebrations.
There are many entertaining ways to commemorate this special day. Here are a few to get the party started.
