St.Patrick’s Day is celebrated on 17th March. It is a special day in Ireland. The day is about Saint Patrick, the patron saint of Ireland.

Leprechauns: Figures from Celtic folklore, often shown with pots of gold and green hats, are part of the festival. Drinking: In the past, this was the only day when people were allowed to drink alcohol in public in Ireland because of a law from 1960.
