If you&#8217;re attending a parade in a small town or village you can reduce this to 15 minutes before the start time!<\/li>\n<li><strong>Research the parade route: <\/strong>Most of the bigger parades will publish their routes online. If you want a good view point or have young children with you, consider staying away from the main thoroughfares to get a better view.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Dress for the weather &#8211; any weather!<\/strong> There is no typical St Patrick\u2019s day weather in Ireland. Some years the mercury can be close to 60 degrees Fahrenheit, great for a spring day in Ireland. Others it can still feel like winter with wind, rain and sometimes snow. Our advice? Dress in layers and check the weather forecast regularly.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Wear something green: <\/strong>Did you know blue is the traditional color of St Patrick? But the shamrock and link to Ireland\u2019s green fields have meant today\u2019s festival is all about the wearing of the green. You&#8217;ll find shamrock buttonholes for sale in the days up to St Patrick\u2019s Day but many people simply choose to wear a green item of clothing, a hat or scarf on the day. You also can&#8217;t go wrong with a classic <a href=\"https:\/\/www.aran.com\/?srsltid=AfmBOopjRcQkeMbaa_7TgdPAR708fHcmkgFyN2XZ42IqiS3S-z34Zynh\">Aran jumper<\/a>, or check out amazing Irish Sustainable Designer, <a href=\"https:\/\/aoifemcnamara.com\/\">Aoife McNamara!<\/a><\/li>\n<li><strong>Have fun! <\/strong>Last but by no means least, enjoy yourself! St Patrick\u2019s Day is a wonderful day in Ireland. No matter where you find yourself, soak up the atmosphere, enjoy the street theatre, live music and good food that should be easy to find.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<div class=\"col-xl-8 offset-xl-2\">\n\t\t\t\t<h3>Restaurants for St Patrick&#8217;s Day<\/h3>\n<p>Although Ireland is a very eclectic country when it comes to dining options, on St Patrick\u2019s Day it\u2019s nice to go back to basics and enjoy some good quality traditional Irish food.
