Boston, Massachusetts:\u00a0 St. Patty\u2019s Day Parade<\/h4>\n

The best St. Patty\u2019s Day celebration doesn\u2019t take place in Ireland; it happens in Boston!\u00a0 And, this St. Patty\u2019s Day party traces its roots to the American Revolution!\u00a0 Most people don\u2019t realize that today\u2019s famous South Boston St. Patrick\u2019s Day Parade evolved from the original Evacuation Day Parade, celebrating the retreat of British soldiers from Boston.\u00a0 And, with over a million revelers swarming the streets, the St. Patrick\u2019s Day celebration in Boston reigns supreme over all other shindigs held on the same day.\u00a0 But, if you can\u2019t make it to Boston this St. Patrick\u2019s Day, countless cities across America succeed in creating a fun, festive atmosphere for all ages.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
