In Ireland, traditionally St Patrick's Day starts off with Mass at 11 AM. A large 
picnic and in Dublin there is a parade that ends at the end of Grafton St. It is 
more celebrated as a family day than a drunken fest as it is here in the US. 
Though that has changed a wee bit with many Irish Americans migrating back to 
Ireland in the 90's. 

Then again the Irish can drink a lot. I spent a week in Dublin Ireland and man I 
just could not stay up with the locals in pints.
