March 13th St. Patrick’s Day Parade
Only an Irish patron saint would have a holiday erected in his honor be transformed into one of the most popular drinking days of the year. Irish or not, party goers dress up in green and consume copious amounts of Irish Stouts and Whiskey.
Philadelphia is rich with Irish heritage and there is plenty to do (and drink). Make sure to check out the second oldest American St. Patrick‘s Day Parade (second only to New York), on March 13th at 11am. And of course, there are some amazing parties put on by the best of Philadelphia’s pubs.
