Celebrating St. Patrick’s Day

My St. Patrick’s Day celebration usually includes going to the parade in my city and getting a few beers with friends at the local pub later. However, this year will be different because most parades have been canceled owing to the new coronavirus. While most people are bummed that they will have to celebrate the day indoors, it does not mean that your day has to be boring. There are still some interesting ideas that you can try out and celebrate St. Patrick’s Day while observing social distancing rules.
