Thousands of St Patrick’s Day festivity followers will be joining in the party today, for another anniversary of the death of the Irish patron saint. The area of Retiro is determined to be the busiest party area, with the many Irish pubs filling to the brim with beer thirsty St Paddy fans.
Year after year the number of people who celebrate the Irish tradition rises, and this year is no exception, promoted still by bars offering a variety of special offers on food, beer, and live music shows.
Saint Patrick (386-493) is the patron saint of Ireland, and national apostle who is attributed with the extension of Christianity in the country.
St Patrick's Day itself is associated with all things Irish, something green and gold, 4-leaf clovers and luck, but deep down it’s seen as a day of religious and spiritual renovation and prayer for churches around the world.
In the city of Buenos Aires, not only the Retiro area will be bustling with celebrations, as Belgrano and Palermo, amongst others will be serving up the beer with a splendid excuse to party for all.
Traffic Director from the Urban Development Ministry authorised the closing of Paraguay Street and Marcelo T. De Alvear Street, between San Martín and Leandro N Alem. Traffic will be redirected around the area.
At the same time, there will be a St Patrick’s Day parade leaving from Arroyo and Suipacha streets at 7PM, finishing in Plaza San Martín, where leading from there a music show fronted by Mac Manus will be held with Irish dancing (Argentina Celtic group and Emeraldance). There will also be a fancy dress contest of leprechauns, fairies, for children and adults.
