St Patrick’s Day

Boston boasts a long-standing Irish culture with Irish pubs a-plenty, and St Patrick's Day is a significant event in the city, featuring one of the biggest parties in America. It was here that the first St Patrick's Day was celebrated in 1737, and today green-clad families gather to enjoy the high-spirited celebrations. Featuring marching bands, pipe bands, and plenty of traditional costumes, the event takes place the day after St. Patrick's Day.
