It’s almost the middle of March. People are preparing for the spring weather and Easter in the next few weeks. However, there is one holiday that makes March special – St. Patrick’s day. St. Patrick’s day is a great way to have fun during March, yet it can be hard to find something to do if you don’t already have a holiday tradition. Here are a few festive places to go on this Irish holiday:

•   St. Patrick’s day parade – come and see as over 150,000 marchers parade down the streets of Midtown NYC, for its 257th anniversary. For more information go here: https://ny.curbed.com/2018/3/9/17101022/nyc-st-patricks-day-parade-route-street-closures-2018
