Celebrate St. Patrick’s Day with a Boston getaway

There are more than 34.5 million Irish-Americans living in the United States. New York and California have big Irish-American populations, but did you know that 24% of the population in Massachusetts is of Irish decent? So, it makes perfect sense that Boston has one of the biggest St Patrick’s Day celebrations outside of the homeland. Head to Beantown for the 106th St Patrick’s Day Parade, traditional corned beef and cabbage or listen to bagpipe music in a local café.
