Across the globe, Saint Patrick’s Day parades and festivals are held on March 17th. Irish traditional music fills the air while people dance in their green attire and three-leaved shamrocks. Partygoers drink green beer and make corned beef to share with family and friends.

Since 2010, there have been over 300 landmarks in 50 different countries that have lit up green to celebrate the holiday.
