From Pete’s Desk
St. Patrick’s has come to the stage and it is PARTY TIME! We
all get dressed and go out to eat and drink beer, Irish beer that
is, to be happy and swap jokes. The snowfall across the
continent along with rain have been disastrous across the land.
If you are okay cooking then invite your neighbors and have an
Irish feed.
We roamed all over the internet and we got a nice medium
magazine, so, if you can fire up the grill and get things going if
the kitchen is out of service.
So, if you’ve questions on your computer, cell phone or language
problems then email us at computerease@juno.com and we will
look into it.
Yours and the staff!

9 Destinations Around the World That Go
All Out for St. Patrick’s Day
Ireland isn’t the only place that gets its green on—pack your bags (with
leprechaun gear) for these global destinations, too.

The luck of the Irish isn’t solely confined to its homeland. While celebrating St.
Patrick’s Day in the Emerald Isle is certainly an experience worth pursuing, you
may be surprised by these other destinations that go gloriously green for the
festivities, too. Check out which places around the world channel a little extra
Ireland on St. Patrick’s Day—each with its own cultural twists.
1. Montserrat
A 17th-century Irish Catholic settlement formed deep cultural roots in this
Caribbean island known as ―the other Emerald Isle‖—for this reason, the country’s
St. Patrick’s Day celebrations still pack a surprisingly large punch. It’s one of the
few places in the world besides Ireland where the day has been declared a public
holiday, so expect its festivities to take the (pot o’) gold. Montserrat’s 10-day
13

festival (March 10–19 in 2023) also commemorates the country’s first slave
rebellion and involves a street parade, lecture series, and several fetes—plus a
shamrock-shaped stamp on your passport to boot.
2. Sydney, Australia
For the Southern Hemisphere’s largest St. Patrick’s Day celebration, head to the
Land Down Under. In Sydney, the areas of Circular Quay and the Rocks will host
this year’s festivities, which are organized around family-fun events and a parade.
The area will transform into an Irish village featuring local food vendors, craft
stalls, and live musical performances. The 2023 parade kicks off on Argyle Street at
9:30 a.m. First Fleet Park on Sunday, March 19, and culminates in First Fleet Park
under the Sydney Harbour Bridge. Be sure to look across the water at the Sydney
Opera House: It’s lit green for the holiday.

3. Chicago, Illinois
For more than 50 years, the Windy City has celebrated St. Patrick’s Day with a
colorful tradition: by coloring the Chicago River bright green. On the Saturday
before St. Patrick’s Day in Chicago, thousands of spectators gather along the river
in the morning to watch an environmentally-safe dye change the river’s hues for a
few hours. Then, even larger crowds gather for the city’s St. Patrick’s Day Parade
(this year’s iteration took place on March 11, 2023), which features troops of Irish
step dancers and bagpipers traveling up Columbus Drive starting at around noon.
4. Montreal, Canada
North America’s most European city has been channeling Ireland on St. Paddy’s
Day for ages. The long-standing parade in Montreal has marched on the holiday
every year since 1824, sans a single cancellation before 2020. Marching bands,
bagpipes, floats, local residents, and even a massive St. Patrick himself commit to
three hours of annual festivities, snow or shine. This year, the 198th Montreal St.
Patrick’s Day Parade will take place on Sainte-Catherine Street in the downtown
area starting at 12 p.m. on March 19. C’est la vie canadienne!
5. New York City
Parade fanatic? Manhattan’s mayhem is the St. Paddy’s place for you. In addition to
the Empire State Building turning green for the occasion, the Big Apple goes big
with the holiday’s largest parade in the world: the affair attracting some 2 million
attendees that features about 150,000 dancers, musicians, and more. Cooler still?
This New York City tradition has been in place since 1762, making its run longer
than the United States has been a country. This year, the parade starts at 11 a.m. on
Friday, March 17, and can be viewed along Fifth Avenue between 44th Street and
79th Street.

6. Tokyo, Japan
Tokyo knows how to throw a photogenic costume-filled street party, and the city’s
St. Patrick’s Day celebrations are no exception. For its 28th year in Japan’s capital,
the Irish-themed parade took place on March 12, 2023, in the Omotesando district
(a five-minute walk from Harajuku Station). And for two days the ―I Love Ireland
Festival‖ annually comes to Yoyogi Park. This celebration is a couple of days of
food, drinking, and overall fun at Asia’s largest Irish festival.
7. London, England
Just a stone’s throw away from the Emerald Isle itself, London doesn’t shy away
from St. Patrick’s Day festivities. The annual parade—this year on March 12—
kicks off from Hyde Park Corner, in the heart of the city. After passing some of
16

London’s most iconic landmarks, the party continues at Trafalgar Square, where an
hours-long entertainment festival hosts live performances by well-known musical
acts. Of course, more rambunctious revelers will enjoy special events at various
Irish pubs surrounding the square. The London Eye turns into eye candy as well,
illuminated with a shamrock hue.
8. Boston, Massachusetts
Boston is largely regarded as one of the most Irish cities in the United
States, which becomes especially evident every year in March. Check out
the spirited St. Patrick’s Day Parade in South Boston on March 19, which
attracts more than 1 million spectators annually. From March 16 through
March 19, you can also enjoy a live performance by local Celtic punkrock
band the Dropkick Murphys at the House of Blues or the MGM
Music Hall at Fenway. The Boston band puts on a weekend of special St.
Patrick’s Day concerts every year—prepare to get your world
(sham)rocked.

9. Munich, Germany
Germany is another country worth visiting for the holiday. Munich shuts down
Leopold Street (Leopoldstrasse) for its St. Patrick’s parade, making way for a green
sea of floats and performers bursting with general Bavarian merriment. After a preparade
affair (involving music and dancers) on Saturday and the parade on Sunday,
a street food festival is held in Odeonsplatz, offering international food served to
the sounds of live Celtic music performances. Guinness steins are encouraged.
