St. Patrick’s Day: It’s an all-too-often overlooked holiday. However, there are many fun and appropriate ways to celebrate this year!
- Learn the history. The story of Saint Patrick is actually a pretty cool one – St Patrick was actually a missionary from England who served in Ireland.
- Learn some Gaelic. It’s a challenge, to be sure, but maybe a rewarding one. If you’re looking to try a new language, why not Gaelic?
- Test your Irish trivia knowledge here or here.
The tri-colored flag is a well-known Irish symbol.

- Practice your Irish accent. If learning an entirely new language is too big of a task, just try working on the accent!
- Cook. Whether it’s the traditional brisket and cabbage or bright green cupcakes, food is always a great way to celebrate!
- Watch an Irish movie. Some good options are Waking Ned Devine, The Secret of Roan Inish, or Angela’s Ashes.
