St. Patrick's Day Celebrations Around the World in 2024

🍀 Exciting parade photos, Google Doodle, and a missing charm in Canada! Read more about the St. Patrick's Day festivities! 🎉

St. Patrick's Day 2024 was a vibrant affair with celebrations worldwide. In Bremerton, the 30th annual St. Patrick's Day Parade was a visual treat, featuring West Sound Pearl Princess Violet Haney, 9, joyfully holding hands with a leprechaun balloon. The colorful spectacle captured the essence of the Irish spirit. Meanwhile, Google marked the day with a festive Doodle, showcasing the serene landscape of Ireland, paying homage to the country's rich heritage. However, in Douglas, Ont., known as the 'Irish capital of Canada,' the St. Patrick's Day charm seemed to be missing as the usual crowds were notably absent from the festivities. The small community, located 120 kilometers west of Ottawa, usually sees a significant influx of visitors during this time.
