Irish-American Facts
The largest indication of the Irish influence may be the yearly celebration of St. Patrick's Day. The traditionally religious Irish holiday on March 17 is an occasion for parades and revelry in the United States, with those of Irish ancestry wearing green clothing for support (or those who just want to be part of the fun)! The largest parade takes place in New York, where attendance in the crowd sometimes exceeds 2 million viewers. Boston has the second-largest parade, and its South Boston Parade is the oldest in the country, having been started as a tradition in 1737.
