Looking for ways to celebrate Saint Patrick’s Day as a family? There are plenty of ways to celebrate the emerald isle and all that hails from it this week. Here are a few ideas to get you started:
Towns and cities all over the nation will be having Saint Patrick’s Day parades. Throw comfy shoes on the family and get ready for some fun!
Irish dance is catching on, look for local festivals or Irish Dance Recitals coming up.
Throw an Irish party. Irish music is easy to find on iTunes or Youtube. Put on the tunes and have everyone wear green and bring their favorite green food to share.
If you are fortunate enough to have warm weather on Saint Patrick’s Day, take your children out for a four leaf clover hunt.
Hop in the car and go visit a local Irish restaurant for dinner. There are Irish pubs and restaurants in most major cities in America. If there isn’t an Irish restaurant in your area, make an Irish dinner at home (find great recipes in our Food section).
Whatever Irish activity your family decides to participate in this year, have fun and have a Happy St. Patrick’s Day!!
