Each year on March 17, Americans across the country come together to celebrate another culture’s holiday: St. Patrick’s Day. This holiday, which is based on an Irish legend and the patron saint of Ireland, is all about celebrating the Irish spirit. And while it’s most vibrantly celebrated throughout Ireland, there are plenty of American cities that get in on the tradition.

In fact, many U.S. cities with large Irish populations have created new St. Patrick’s Day traditions of their very own. With more than 31 million people with Irish ancestry living in America, there are even more Irish-Americans than residents of Ireland! That alone is a reason to grab a pint and celebrate.

And if you’re looking for a celebration, you don’t have to look far. Plenty of U.S. cities throw huge parties on St. Patrick’s Day, with annual parades, charity runs, and pub crawls happening from coast to coast. From green rivers to green beer, you can find a lively St. Patty’s Day celebration just about anywhere.

But if you’re looking to celebrate somewhere steeped in tradition and Irish heritage, these are the best cities you can visit.

When you think about celebrating St. Patrick’s Day, there’s likely one beverage that immediately comes to mind: beer. No party on March 17 is complete unless you’re toasting with a glass of dark, deep Irish beer. And there’s one beer in particular that people love to crack open on this Irish holiday. Guinness, the beer brewed right in Ireland, is synonymous with St. Patrick’s Day. 

Guinness is the go-to choice for some of the biggest St. Patrick’s Day celebrations in the world. It’s particularly popular in cities with large Irish-American populations, like Boston and Chicago, with nearly 13 million pints of Guinness being poured on this holiday alone. But interestingly, Guinness actually isn’t the most popular beer on St. Patrick’s Day. Plenty of partygoers choose Samuel Adams – or even Budweiser and Heineken – instead.

Regardless of whether you’re sipping an Irish-made Guinness or another brew, beer is still the number one drink of choice for any St. Patty’s celebration. And if you’d like to celebrate with a different kind of beer, there are plenty of Irish options you can try.

Check out these top beers to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day with something tasty that’s inspired by Ireland’s favorite flavors.
