18th Annual Greater Manassas St. Patrick’s Day Parade
Every year on March 17th the Irish and even just the Irish at heart come together all over the world to celebrate Saint Patrick’s Day.

History of Saint Patrick’s Day
Saint Patrick’s Day is Celebrated on March 17th because that is the anniversary of the death of Saint Patrick. Since the occasion started in Ireland, as the Irish spread out far and wide, they brought with them their history and festivities of the Saint Patrick’s Day celebration. The greatest recognition of all is, of course, in Ireland. Except for eateries and bars, all organizations close on March seventeenth. Massive urban areas and residential communities alike celebrate with parades, “wearing of the green,” music and melodies, Irish nourishment and drink, and exercises for children, for example, artworks, shading, and amusements. A few groups even go so far as to dye rivers or streams green!
