St. Patrick's Day

It’s almost time for St. Patrick’s Day! And that means that regardless of your heritage, on March 17, it's time to put on your best green shirt and meet up with your friends at one of these Buffalo, Western New York Irish pubs.

The 22nd Annual “Old Neighborhood” St. Patrick’s Day Parade is scheduled for Saturday, March 14th and will kick off at 12 Noon. Since 1994, this parade has retraced the original 1913 route through the historic streets of the Valley and Old First Ward neighborhoods...

Apparently St. Patrick's Day isn't just about drinking, fighting and public urination (but don't get us wrong, it is about that, too).

Get your green on, Buffalo.

There are several schools in Buffalo that specialize in Irish dance and, in turn, yield the area’s best Irish dance troupes.

Everyone is Irish on Saint Patrick’s Day!
