For folks who love the popular patron saint of Ireland or just like to drink beer and pretend to care, this annual celbration gives you the chance to do it big. The Irish pubs in Uptown will be ready, but stay sober enough to appreciate the Irishness of the parade and festival, which is filled with Celtic dance, music and special guests - including the Irish Ambassador to the United States.
