In Northern Ireland, a parade in the city of Belfast attracted tens of thousands of spectators. The crowds were also filled with a good mood in Downpatrick, Enniskillen, Newry and Ballycastle.
San Patricio’s day takes place every year on March 17.
The event originates from a religious festival that celebrates the death of the patron saint of Ireland, St. Patrick. Currently, holidays have become a global celebration of all Irish traditions, with parades, music, dance and much green.
Although Ireland celebrated San Patricio’s day more than 1000 years, the famous parades began in the United States with the Irish diaspora.
Therefore, the Irish celebration also took parades and noisy festivities throughout the country, including New York, Massachusetts, Illinois, Georgia, Minnesota and Arkansas.
