We Love St. Patrick’s Day!

It’s such a fun way to celebrate the Irish heritage and a little bit of spring!

St. Patrick’s Day was first established in 1631 but did not become an official Irish holiday until 1904. The holiday spread to America through Irish Immigrants. The St. Patrick’s Day we celebrate now is due to the desire to honor their Irish heritage.*

The color green, rainbows, shamrocks and clovers, luck and leprechauns, parades, and parties are a few of the ways we join in celebrating the holiday.

You’re sure to find some delicious “Leprechaun Approved” sweets on this list to make your St. Patrick’s Day extra special!
