EEEKCelebrate St. Patrick’s Day in the West End
St. Patrick’s Day inevitably brings to mind the image of green shamrocks, Irish flags and Guinness pints. Traditionally, the “Feast of St. Patrick” is a cultural and religious celebration held every March 17 to honour the patron saint of Ireland, Saint Patrick.
There is a popular expression that everyone is Irish on March 17, and it is true here in Vancouver. This annual celebration allows for everyone, not just those with Irish heritage, to honour Irish culture through public parades, parties, and wearing of green attire and shamrocks.
There are numerous celebrations and festivities happening around the city as part of Celtic Week, and numerous West End watering holes are participating with drink specials and giveaways. Wherever you end up, have a great time and drink responsibly.
