- St. Patrick's Day Parade - Almost every major city will have a parade this weekend to celebrate. Grab your girlfriends and join in on the fun. Wear your green beads with pride. Unless you are in New Orleans, you won't even have to flash to get the beads!
- Irish Pubs - This is a no brainer. Any Irish pub worth its grain of salt it will be seasoning the corned beef hash with will have a festivity of some sorts. In some cities, the parties kick off as early as today. The men will be here. Guarantee it!
- Live Music - Check your local listings for Irish bands or Celtic bands playing in your area. You would be suprised how many U2 cover bands there are. This is a good time to "rock out with your green sock out"!
- Whiskey Tasting - Nothing comes between an Irishman and his whiskey. Seriously. Check out a whiskey tasting and learn more about their native spirit. It's a great social event and a fun way to meet new people.
If this is your first foray with the Irish, be forewarned. Some people tend to take this weekend as a pass to get green beer wasted! Have fun and expect a big party wherever you go. And if you meet someone cute and want to take it to the next level, simply say "Kiss Me, I'm Irish!" He may be your lucky charm and you might have found your pot of (relationship) gold.
