35 Iconic Landmarks Taking Part in Global Greening to Celebrate St. Patrick's Day 2019 ...

By Neecey

St. Patrick’s Day is one of the few national holidays that is celebrated internationally. It seems everyone wants to claim even a tiny bit of Irish heritage on March 17th (my paternal grandfather was Irish – born in Belfast) and why not? St. Patrick’s Day celebrations are amazing and all-embracing and welcoming. But it’s not all about drinking green beer, parades, and listening to Irish music. Thanks to Tourism Ireland, there will be 300+ landmarks which include stadiums, statues, museums and towers, around the world will be going green for St. Patrick’s Day in 2019.
