About St. Patrick's Day
St. Patrick's Day is March 17, a public holiday in Ireland and Northern Ireland and an enormous unofficial one in the US, where Chicago dyes its river green on the nearest Saturday and New York holds the world's largest parade on the 17th itself, or the 16th when it falls on a Sunday.
Bars in major US cities report it as one of their top three revenue days alongside New Year's Eve and the Saturday before, so expect cover charges and reservations. If you're planning a trip to Dublin, the festival runs several days around the 17th and hotels book out two months ahead.
