Irish influence is found in every nook and cranny of Boston’s
historic streets. During the 19th
century, there was a population influx from Ireland as a result of the Irish
famine. Two centuries later, Boston still proudly represents Irish culture, and
this is never more apparent than on St. Patrick’s Day. It has become a common
joke around here that, “Everyone is Irish on March 17th!!” Whether
you are Irish or not, there is plenty of fun activities for everyone to participate
in on St. Patrick’s Day!
