This Irish holiday celebrating the patron saint of Ireland and its national apostle (St. Patty's Day) has turned into quite a festival, especially in the US. What was just a feast during Lent has turned into an all-day long, or week long in some cities, party. If you are part of the masses that celebrate this very green holiday, here are some events in Boulder County to attend.
