Saint Patrick's Day Around the World - the Phenomenon of the Export of Irish Culture

Happy St. Paddy's Day! The holiday we now know and enjoy has gone through quite a bit of evolution. It has found new and unique expressions all over the world - including back in the home country. Yet no matter where you go there is always one factor that doesn't change - joy.

Let's take a look at where this holiday started and some of the quirkier aspects of Saint Patrick's Day in the 21st century!

--------------------------------------------------
Started in 2003, USA Kilts is a team of kilt makers and artisans located in Spring City PA. In 2017, we made it our mission to build community and bring kilts and Celtic culture to the forefront with our YT show: Kilts & Culture.

I think for St. Patty's day this year, I'll marathon the Kilts& Culture episodes, and take a shot every time a question is answered with "it depends".

Thank you Eric for that very informative I knew it was well celebrated and known all over the world but you've given us some more information that I quite frankly in 52 years never knew thank you.

I have a good friend here in Texas that is from Montserrat. I'll be sure to ask him about St paddy's day celebrations now for sure.

+USAKiltsOfficial *Thanks for the historian perspective.* Florida was the first place in the Americas to host a _Fiesta de San Patricio de Hibernia._ Massachusetts Bay was a reasonable interval behind; so New York thereafter.

The problem with St. Patrick's Day is that it falls right in the middle of lent. You can still celebrate, but you have to feel guilty about it.

As an Irishman why in the name of God would you ruin a perfectly good looking pint

What song did you use for the background?

Irish in NY adopted corn beef from their Jewish immigrant neighbors

Great video. Only thing is Kilts are Scottish, not Irish.

Now Scotland was ruined by Humza Yousaf(SNP leader)
