It’s time for St. Patrick’s Day, a day for celebrating Irish tradition and culture! Have fun, invite luck, and make the most out of St. Patrick’s Day with these festive ways to celebrate:
Go to a parade
There’s nothing better than a parade to capture the spirit of St. Patrick’s Day and celebrate with the community. Cities all over the U.S. host these parades that feature Irish dance and music, marching bands, and all things green! Places like Boston, with a huge population of Irish descents, and Chicago, with its tradition of turning the Chicago River green, hold grand celebrations if you really want to feel that festive vibe.
Wear green
The tradition of wearing green dates back to Irish immigrants in the 19th century, and now it has become an important part of the holiday. Wear anything green from your closet, from blouses and sweaters to hats and jewelry. Pair your fit with the Jelli M1 mask in either Arctic or Taffy—they both go well with green! Now you can stay protected from both pollutants in the air and sneaky leprechauns who might be looking to pinch you.
Eat Irish delicacies
A celebration is not complete without food and drinks, so this is the perfect time to indulge in classic Irish delicacies! Treat yourself to filling corned beef and cabbage, savory shepherd’s pie, and slightly tangy soda bread that’s amazing with butter and jam.
Immerse yourself in Irish dance and music
You can tune in to Irish folk dance music, watch Irish dance performances, or better yet, learn the dance steps yourself! St. Patrick’s Day will definitely not be short of dance groups who would love to display and share their craft.
Decorate your space with green
Celebrating outside is fun, but putting the festivities indoors is also a wonderful idea! Go for shamrocks, gold coins and leprechaun-themed designs, and other green decorations to add luck and blessings to your household.
As you go and celebrate St. Patrick’s Day, remember to wear the Jelli M1 mask to keep safe and prevent sickness. Who knows, it could be one of your lucky charms. Happy St. Patrick’s Day, JelliFam!
