2010 Saint Patricks Day Parades
In the capital city of Dublin, Ireland, locals say their St. Patrick’s Day festival from March 15 – 19 can’t be beat. Residents attend parades, carnivals, hunt for treasure, watch traditional Irish dance, attend theatrical performances and participate in pub crawls. Of course, not all Irish-Americans can make it back to the motherland to celebrate this feast day, so they’re looking for the best celebrations in North America. In fact, many U.S. cities will be having 2010 Saint Patricks Day parades.
Of all the Saint Patrick’s Day parades, Boston, Massachusetts wins the title for “longest running celebration in America.” The first parade was held in 1737 and today more than 500,000 people show up to party. With 16% of the city of Irish descent, the St. Paddy’s Day crowd is particularly festive. The party begins a week before March 17th, which includes the Gaelic Gourmet Gala (with Irish chefs serving up traditional foods), music concerts, comedy shows, drink specials at Irish pubs and Irish costume contests at the 75 Chestnut restaurant. Out-of-town visitors enjoy walking through the 20-site Irish Heritage Trail and partaking in sightseeing tours from costumed characters. Before the parade, Mr. Dooley’s Boston Tavern is a popular place to grab an authentic Irish breakfast.
Savannah, Georgia is also one of the top cities for 2010 Saint Patricks Day parades in America. Savannah’s Historic District parade route attracts 400,000 people each year, who gather to enjoy weekend festivals with Celtic music, games, competitions, food and drinks. The city fountains are dyed green several days before the parade, women spectators kiss Armed Forces Units and people run down River and Bay streets with open containers, as is customary. While you’re in town, you’ll enjoy sampling Irish whiskey at Murphy’s Law Irish Pub.
Seattle, Washington boasts one of the best 2010 Saint Patricks Day parades and is “one of five places to get your green on,” according to CNN. You can expect 20,000 spectators along the one-mile parade route. Festival goers paint the streets green and attend dinners, Irish soda bread baking contests, masses for peace and an Irish Week Festival, which includes dancing, food and historical exhibits. Other important cities for your consideration include Scranton (PA), Philadelphia (PA), New Orleans (LA), Las Vegas (NV), San Francisco (CA), Syracuse (NY) and Chicago (IL).
