Americans like St. Valentine's Day Patryk and despite the fact that it is not like a day off work in Ireland, the holiday becomes a great opportunity to go to the numerous pubs in the United States, in which beer reigns, also colored in green. In Chicago, with a very large Irish diaspora, he celebrates St. Patrick's Day with the dying of the Chicago River in green, a parade that has passed through downtown and hundreds of events in Irish pubs and clubs.
Green color dominates on the streets, in the dressing room, make-up and even in beer mugs, which are consumed by hectoliters. In the US, the celebration of St. Patrick's Day goes back to 1737, when the Charitable Irish Association in Boston organized the first parade.
