Every year, people gather and go out to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day, or St. Paddy’s Day, on March 17. This celebration, also known as the Feast of Saint Patrick, has cultural and religious roots and is meant to honor the death of patron saint of Ireland, Saint Patrick.
Over the years, the date has become a chance to wear all your green clothing, head out to the Irish pubs and taverns, and party with friends. Because of this, many of the bars and restaurants in the Toledo area offer special deals and menu items in celebration of the holiday.
Not only is there an Official St. Paddy’s Day Bar Crawl, but there are also specific locations that will serve as a hub for St. Paddy’s Day events. Here is your guide for how to best celebrate St. Paddy’s Day in the Toledo area.
