History Of St. Patrick's Day
While most just consider it a day to skip work to drink green beverages or pinch people not wearing green, there is actually a real historical reason why people celebrate St. Patrick's Day each year on March 17th. Irish and Irish Americans celebrate each and every March 17th to honor Patrick, who was a patron saint of Ireland. March 17th is the day he passed away. It started as a more traditional day of horror in Ireland but as Irish immigrants moved to the United States it evolved into more of a celebration of Irish Culture. As of today, over 31 million folks in the United States claim some sort of Irish descent, myself included. While there are many great places to celebrate this day in our country, one Northern Colorado city ranks as colorado's best place to do it. We have 3 cities in the Top 30 and 4 in the top 50.
