Celebrating St. Patrick's Day with Parades and Pints Across the US

St. Patrick's Day celebrations are in full swing across the United States, with parades, pub crawls, and state visits. Savannah's parade, a 199-year-old tradition, drew thousands of tourists and locals, while New York City's parade, billed as the world's largest and oldest, drew throngs to Fifth Avenue. President Joe Biden welcomed Irish Prime Minister Leo Varadkar to the White House, and cities like Chicago and Boston will hold their parades and festivities this weekend. The Savannah parade has ballooned into one of the South's largest street parties after Mardi Gras, and Irish immigrants have a deep history in helping New York City become what it is today.
