St. Patrick's Day is celebrated by the Irish and Irish at Heart in big cities and small towns alike with parades, "wearing of the green," music and songs, Irish food and drink, and activities for kids such as crafts, coloring and games. Its a time for fun. Some communities even go so far as to dye rivers or streams green! In Chicago, the people there dye the Illinois River completely green in downtown Chicago. Although I think that is pretty extreme, it shows the pride of the Irish. It is always celebrated in the United States on the seventeenth of March.
