Boston Events

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. This year's parade is the 106th and features marching bands and pipe bands, and plenty of traditional costumes. The event takes place the day after St. Patrick's Day.

Venue: South Boston; Date: 17 March, annually; Time: 1pm; Website: www.saintpatricksdayparade.com/boston/boston.htm
