To learn more about this special holiday and what the best ways are to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day, we reached out to Susan Byron of Ireland’s Hidden Gems. Susan was kind enough to have a chat with Bored Panda and share why the 17th of March is such a special day.

“St Patrick's Day is really important because millions of people all around the world can claim Irish heritage, especially in the US and Canada but as far away as Australia and New Zealand too due to mass emigration from the time of the famine (1840 onwards), political unrest and economic depression,” she explained.

“So, St Patrick's Day is their descendant's day to celebrate their Irish roots, which they absolutely love to do with many visitors coming from all around the world for our famous St. Patrick's Day Parade,” Susan says.

We were also curious how Susan likes to celebrate St. Patty’s Day. “We celebrate it quietly to be honest here in Ireland,” she shared. “We would normally watch a parade in our local village of Kinvara, which is great fun and mostly about local businesses, vintage tractors, horses and children from local GAA clubs of all ages.”

“We would definitely have a few pints of Guinness in our local pub or have a little glass of Jamesons, but it's certainly not the big deal it is in America. And we would never dye our rivers green or drink green pints,” Susan added.

And if you’re looking for a great way to celebrate this year, Susan recommends watching a good Irish movie like The Wind that Shakes the Barley, The Field, Michael Collins or even The Quiet Man. “Perhaps have a go at making a batch or brown bread or scones and an Irish Coffee or Hot Whiskey?” she suggests.

And if you’re really interested in having an Irish experience, Susan says you might want to indulge yourself in finally planning your Dream Trip to Ireland. “My company offers exclusive 2 week Tours of Ireland's Hidden Gems, so if they can't be there on [St. Patrick’s Day] this year, maybe they might be inspired to visit in 2025?”
