Il 17 March in many parts of the world the St. Patrick's Day, the feast of St. Patrick so dear to the Irish, but not only. March 17 the first St. Patrick's Day took place in 1737 and ever since Ireland, in Australia and America every year the feast of the saint is celebrated.
In Ireland, especially a Dublin you have the most structured parties, music and parades worthy of a real Irish party. Every year in the city of Ireland more than 350.000 people jumping into the streets, colored green or the colors of the Irish flag and partying until morning.
Go to Parnell Square North for a parade with musicians and street performers that takes place here every year, you will find an atmosphere of pure carnival and party. In addition to the great parade, music and activities throughout the day and for those in town, the complete program not to miss even an event.
If you can't see the parade or you prefer celebrate with friends over a nice glass of guinnes, certainly there is no shortage of pub in Dublin. In the Irish city you can party until late at night especially in the classic district of Temple bar, full of pubs and ideal places for a respectable party.
But how is St. Patrick's Day celebrated in Italy? Like many parties, this one too began in Ireland and then moved to Italy, where we took it, welcomed it and made it a little bit ours. We see all the events in the main Italian cities then.
Firenze
With parties, concerts and events, St. Patrick's Day is celebrated in Florence with events for three days, not even to say that March 17 will be the most celebrated day of the three days. Celtic music and also many folk dances. A pub where to drink a good Guinness in the city is certainly the Finnegan, You will not regret it.
Bologna
The university city par excellence in Italy is undoubtedly Bologna. In this city during the Feast of St. Patrick there are dozens and dozens of parties that cannot really be missed if you are traveling or studying in Bologna. Music and beer for the whole weekend of the greenest party there is and also a good program at Celtic Druid from Bologna.
Every year in Bologna the very important Ireland in Festa event takes place, give us a thought!
Rome
Rome has a large number of Irish pubs and to tell the truth even just walking around the streets of the capital during the feast of St. Patrick could be extremely fun. If, on the other hand, you want parties and pubs where you can go and drink good Guinness, we suggest you take a look at theAbbey Theater and Finnegan Pub of Rome.
Not only Italy, let's see what happens abroad too!
