Happy Saint Patrick’s Day!
It’s the most GREEN day of the year! No matter where you are in the world, people love to celebrate the Irish holiday. Which leaves a great question….what is the meaning behind Saint Patrick’s Day? Well our friends over at Wikipedia have it all for us!
Saint Patrick's Day, or the Feast of Saint Patrick (Irish: LaFheile Padraig "the Day of the Festival of Patrick"), is a cultural and religious celebration held on 17 March, the traditional death date of Saint Patrick (c. AD 385-461), the foremost patron saint of Ireland.

Saint Patrick’s Day is a huge celebration in the Americas, and ESPECIALLY in Houston, Texas! With so many parades, events, and music festivals going on, this day is made extra special! Check out below for some amazing ideas that you can participate in at home, or in and around Houston!
· Houston’s 60TH Annual St Patrick’s Day Parade! -Houston's parade has historically been one of the largest in the U.S. and each year includes over 100 entries to delight the Irish and Irish-at-heart. The Houston St. Patrick’s Parade is a free, all ages event, held each year the Saturday before St. Patrick’s Day. This year’s parade will take place on March 16th at 12 Noon, and lasts two hours.
For more information on the parade routes, parking, etc, please visit their website at: http://hsppc.org/
· St Patrick’s Day Pub Crawl Benefiting The Parade! - Downtown is the most walk-able crawl-able neighborhood in Houston one of the most bar dense in the South. If your goal is to check out a few bars each with their own parties, there is no other place to do it. And with a pub crawl there is no better way to do it! The best part, the crawl starts directly after the parade ends, and all of the proceeds go to the HSPPC non-profit that hosts the parade!
