St. Patrick's Day is one of the events celebrated worldwide. The notable color of this event is the color green, some even dress up as a leprechaun which is awesome on every level, and the unlimited booze that comes with the celebration.

Before we go to the events on St. Patrick's Day, let's learn about the history as to how St. Patrick's Day came to be and why we celebrate it. I am absolutely curious how the leprechaun became the official mascot for this event.

Here are some short videos about St. Patrick's day History and how the Leprechaun became so Iconic during St. Patrick's day.

I'm not sure how to react about how St. Patrick's day came to be, but one thing is for sure, the past can either be tragic or beautiful. But for St. Patrick's day... I don't know how to describe it. But, it was fun learning the history and actually know what we are celebrating on that day.

With that being said, St. Patrick's day is widely celebrated all over the world by Irish and non-Irish people. I know this is one exciting event for everyone in Indianapolis, so I bring you the schedule of events for St. Patrick's Day!
