Mar 10, 2022

Whether you're an Irish ex-pat wanting to celebrate or you just love a good ol' Gaelic knees-up and want to join in the fun, St Paddy's Day is a chance to celebrate the rich heritage of the Emerald Isle. This year March 17 falls on a Wednesday and since the time-honoured way to toast ol' St Pat is with a well-poured Guinness, you can expect great craic and pints aplenty in Australia’s favourite pubs.
