St. Patrick's Day Planner

Updated: February 26, 2008

It happens once in a blue (or green?) moon: St. Paul's annual St. Patrick's Day Parade will take place on March 15 this year because the 17th falls within Holy Week. The next time that will happen? In 2160. Top off the once-in-a-lifetime parade with a toast to St. Paddy at one of these long-loved Irish pubs or annual events.
