Celebrate at Home

With the pandemic, many of the usual pubs are offering take out service or even delivery so that people can safely celebrate at home. Keeping that in mind, here are a few tips to help make your Saint Patrick’s Day at home celebration even better:

1. Host a virtual St. Paddy’s Day celebration with beer sampling, foods that you cook together, etc.
2. Blast some Irish tunes
3. Dress in green!
4. Stream a parade on your television
5. If you have kids, go outside and hunt for four-leaf clovers
6. Watch an Irish movie

While this year may not be jam packed with parades, block parties or the like, you can still get into the fun of the holiday!
