The Best Places to Celebrate St. Patrick’s Day

Buenos Aires

Argentina has the fifth-largest Irish population outside of Ireland, and every year the Argentina-Ireland Association and the Irish Embassy of Buenos Aires host a parade to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day. If you’re interested in heading down to Argentina for the festivities, be sure to check the date before you go. In 2018, the parade was actually on March 10, rather than the 17.

More than 50,000 people attended the festivities last year, which begin around noon with a parade, and continue well into the night with food trucks, drinking, and dancing. The bars along Reconquista Street are always the busiest. There are several Irish pubs there that do a roaring trade in dark beer (unfortunately, not Guinness) and traditional Irish food.
