where in the world St Patricks day

ygolometsipe

If you could be anywhere in the world for the craic, return tickets
and hotel paid where would you go?

I think I would like to see Argentina or Rio. It looks like a cool party.

If you are already out of Éire, where will you be?

Calypso and Reggae instead of Jigs and Reels.

Little possibility of rain during the parade. The volcano might erupt though.

Seem's like great craic.

Here's some publicity: "St Patrick's Festival is a weeklong celebration highlighting Montserrat's local culture and Irish heritage that culminates with St. Patrick's Day on March 17, also a commemoration of the slave uprising on that very day in 1768.

During the St. Patrick's Festival celebrations there's a simulated Slave Village with traditional local food on sale (the time-honored 'Slave Feast'), along with a revival of traditional games from yesteryear like hand-made spinning tops, story telling, and a kite flying festival.

Local culture and music are in focus and you'll be sure to see the Masqueraders (masked street dancers in traditional costumes, tall head dresses and whips) perform, prancing to the lively sound of fife and drum: a blend of African and European elements forged out of slavery. String band music, a traditional combination of instruments includes the banjo, 'boompipe', guitar, mouth organ, triangle, 'shak shak' and bass drum are also on show, along with steel band (steel drum) performances"

Yeah Mon.

I was in Buenos Aires for Paddy's Day in 2009 in an Irish bar. The local television crew were there and they asked if any of us Irish spoke Spanish (at the time I could string about two sentences together - I knew the absolute basics of the basics) and completely baloobafied to the max, I volunteered. There's photos of me talking very intensely to the camera gesticulating frantically but I don't remember anything I said. 20 minutes later they found me asleep on the toilet of the Irish pub.

I'd give someone a kidney if I could get my hands on that footage. Good to know I did my bit to compound the stereotype internationally.

Yeah I'd a great time (I went home and slept the drunkness off and went out again later that night). Great night life there anyway but 1 million Irish emigrated there in the early 20th century, so it's celebrated. People get really into it.

Best Paddy's day I had was at the full moon party in Haad Rin many many years ago. Would love to do it again but it seems to have lost its charm.

I will actually be in Boston around the time, not on the day itself though. Would have been cool to see how the yanks celebrate it.

Would love to be in Florida or Vegas for it!

Been trying to think of somewhere to be for paddys weekend this year, Montserrat would be kinda silly though would like to give it a go.
Thought maybe Edinburgh, but hard to judge if it'd be a good place for it.

Going to be in Belfast for Patricks Day this year.

Funny, I was in BA that Paddy's day too. The girls I was hanging out with went to some area with a few Irish Bars and reported later on that it was just full of absolutely hammered locals and Paddies so I didn't venture over. I like Ireland and being Irish and all but the Paddy's day thing is a bit of a cringefest for me.

Edinburgh is brilliant craic for Paddy's day! There won't be a parade but there are about 5 Irish bars, all within close walking distance of each other, and the atmosphere is great.

Paddy Breen's pub in the village of Kilteely in East Limerick, up the road from where I grew up. Best, creamiest pints in the land, bar none. Unfortunately, Paddy's dead and the pub's shut. Ah well...

I'll be on St Kitts - first Patricks Day in years I'm looking forward to
