St. Patrick’s Day Activities That Don’t Involve Drinking

When I saw the headline "St. Patrick's Day Activities Beyond Drinking Green Beers" on Bustle, I thought, this will be a short list. I'm kidding! Beer and whiskey are very closely associated to St. Patrick's Day, but there's certainly a lot more to the holiday than drinking. And this year, I'm celebrating St. Patrick's Day without any alcohol because I gave it up for Lent. Here are a few St. Patrick's Day activities that don't involve a shot of Jameson or a pint of Guinness: Check out a virtual parade - The real ones aren't happening this year. Learn about St. Patrick - Did you know he wasn't born in Ireland? Rock a green outfit - You don't want to get pinched, do you? Although, maybe you can't do that anymore in 2021. Cook an Irish meal - Irish stew, Shepherd's pie, colcannon, soda bread, corned beef and cabbage! Read a book by an Irish author - James Joyce is the most famous. Watch an Irish movie - The Quiet Man is a classic. Brooklyn is a good one from 2015. Make a Shamrock shake - Or just get one at McDonald's.
