Family Guide to St. Patrick's Day!

Green Family Fun this Irish Holiday

By Britianee Griffith Lincoln, IL Macaroni KID March 7, 2023

Celebrate St. Patrick's Day 2023 in Bloomington, Peoria, Springfield, and Chatham.

A day when everyone is a bit Irish! St. Patrick's Day has always been one of my favorite holidays. When I was a child I thought it was the best day ever to get to pinch people for not wearing green. I also loved creating leprechaun traps to see if I could catch the little feller. But as I've gotten older it's so fun to dress up in GREEN and watch the bagpipes and decorated cars, motorcycles, and golf carts in the parades. 

I hate missing out on the fun, so I made a guide for ALL things St. Paddy's Day
