st patrick's day in ireland isn't as big as it is in the states. sure, there are parades and drunken-ness, but since it is a national holiday, most things close so there is less to do. but school is out, so that is a plus :). i assume it is similar to mardi gras in france compared to new orleans...
it's funny. no one in ireland eats corned beef. i had never heard of it until we visited america. and nothing on st. patrick's day is dyed green - no rivers and no beer... guiness is too dark to dye anyway :)

I've done rural Co Wexford and Liverpool city centre for St Paddys. Liverpool wins. Nothing can beat the Mathew St area. Why wait, go along and have a fantastic laugh at Flanagan's Apple any weekend.

My 2 most memoriable paddys days were firstly in Benalmadena Spain, where everyone meets up and parades through the streets to a square where there is music all day and night, the 2nd was in Dublin itself last year, the atmosphere was electric and the crack 90

I am a third generationer from Ireland, my family has always celebrated but not like most Americans do. I loved growing up on a farm where we would have corned beef and cabbage with potato cakes. We would hear stories about our famlies immigration to the USA.

In Kansas City. Go to West Port and you will find quaint Irish bars that on St.Paddy'sDay serve green beer to go along with the corned beef and cabbage. Check out the St.Paddy'sDay parade, it keeps growing.

I was at the Cheltenham Gold Cup a few years ago, with an Irish winner with a horse called Imperial Call, and it was an amazing atmosphere.
