Travel Places Guide

Why celebrate being Irish for one day of the year when you can turn it into a week long festival? All over the UK, from about March 12th onward, big Irish festivals and parades will honor St. Patrick with music, Celtic costumes and crafts, Irish food and lots of green beer consumption. London, Manchester and Birmingham turn particularly and spectacularly green.
