St. Patrick is believed to have driven the snakes from Ireland. Once a pagan himself, St. Patrick is one of Christianity's most widely known figures.
The modern secular holiday is based on the original Christian saint's feast day also thought to be the date of the saint's death. In 1737, Irish immigrants to the United States began observing the holiday publicly in Boston and held the first St. Patrick's Day Parade in New York City in 1766.
Today, the tradition continues with people from all walks and heritages by wearing green, eating Irish food, and attending parades. St. Patrick's Day is bursting with folklore; from the shamrock to the leprechaun and to pinching those that are not wearing green.

Where ever there are irish people I suppose.
We do here in UK and I know that some areas of America do. Im pretty sure where there are large areas of Irish decendants like Australia they do too.
My Grandad is Irish and lives in South of Spain where there are quite a few Irish that all celebrate it!

It's only TRUELY celebrated in Ireland but England and America, having large numbers of irish immigrants also "make an effort".
For reasons I don't know it is also celebrated in Canada, Germany, Denmark, Uruguay and Russia

In Mexico it is observed as a saint´s day and many people who are born on March 17th are named Patricio or Patricia after St. Patrick. Other than that it is not celebrated.
