Michigan Named One of the Rowdiest St. Patrick’s Day States
With a little over a week until St. Patrick's Day, what sort of shenanigans do you have planned?
Well, according to Candystore.com, Michigan really knows how to get its Irish on. They've deemed Michigan one of the rowdiest St. Patrick's Day states in the U.S.
Candystore.com based their "rowdiness ranking" on the number of parades and festivals celebrating the holiday per state.
Here's what they have to say about our St. Paddy's day partying here in Michigan:
Between Detroit, Traverse City, and Ann Arbor, it’s hard to pick a destination to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day in style. We’ll make it easier for you by divulging that the Detroit St. Paddy’s Parade is the most kickass. This year, the parade is celebrating its 59th year of marching. That’s because the fun continues long after the parade ends. Check out the local bars for a St. Paddy’s pub crawl and for Irish food and drink specials that will make you feel like you’ve found a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow.
No specific mention of West Michigan... but we know we do St. Paddy's Day correctly here in our corner of the Mitten too.
