ST PATRICK'S DAY

Have you seen today any person wearing a green hat?

Today is Saint Patrick's Day and it's celebrated on 17 March in many places, and here, in Gasteiz, Irish and local people go to Irish Pubs to celebrate the day.

It's named after the Patron Saint of Ireland and it is a public holiday in this country.

But this day is celebrated all around the world , mainly in USA, Canada, Australia, New Zealand... where we can find important Irish communities.

Many people wear green clothes and there are big parades in a lot of cities. In some places they colour the streets or dye the water in fountains, lakes and rivers, as in Chicago, where they dye the river using natural dyes.
