Dublin, the Irish capital, remains the official, genuine and the undiluted venue for St Patrick day celebration. So important is this Celtic shindig, it has grown into a five-day festival dedicated to all things Irish. The highlight is the St Patrick's Day parade, which winds its way through the city from noon.

For visitors to the country, Céilí means a gathering with music, song, dancing, and participation by all attendees.

But we reckon the biggest and the best part of St Pat's day is in the pub, any pub at all in Ireland. The Local-Malt, Guinness will be abundance, its not how many paints, rather its barrels and litres that the consumption rate is measured in the St Patrick day's celebration, Patrick forbid any pub running out of the godly brew. By now we don't need to tell you the free street kissing and hugging, and with a little luck, we can't rule out one night stand, that's if you are still sober.

Story has it that St Patrick legend thought to date back to the fourth century when Ireland was still pagans worshipping nation converted the Irish to Christianity and was said to have banished all the country's snakes, a myth thought to symbolise his part in ending pagan practices. What really maters is the good time anyway.
