St Patrick\'s Day Celebration
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St._Patrick\'s_Day
Saint Patrick\'s Day is celebrated worldwide by the those of Irish descent and increasingly by non-Irish people (usually in New Zealand, Australia, and North America). Celebrations are generally themed around all things Irish and, by association, the color green. Both Christians and non-Christians celebrate the secular version of the holiday by wearing green, eating Irish food , imbibing Irish drink (such as Irish stout, Irish Whiskey or Irish Cream) and attending parades.
The world\'s first St. Patrick\'s Day parade was held in Boston in 1761, organized by the Charitable Society. The first recorded parade was New York City\'s celebration which began on March 18 1762 when Irish soldiers in the English military marched through the city with their music. The New York parade is the largest, typically drawing two million spectators and 150,000 marchers. The predominantly French-speaking Canadian city of Montreal, in the province of Québec has the longest continually running Saint Patrick\'s day parade in North America, since 1824; The city\'s flag has the Irish emblem, the shamrock, in one of its corners. Ireland\'s cities all hold their own parades and festivals, including Dublin, Cork, Belfast, Derry, Galway, Kilkenny, Limerick, and Waterford. Parades also take place in other Irish towns and villages. The St. Patrick\'s Day parade in Dublin, Ireland is part of a five-day festival; over 500,000 people attended the 2006 parade.
