Miami may not be the city with the biggest Irish-descendent population in the USA, we may not dye Miami River green, probably we don’t know much about St. Patrick himself or leprechauns or have never seen a four-leaf clover; but one thing is for sure, Miami knows how to celebrate. So if you didn’t have enough with Carnaval de la Calle 8, here comes St. Patrick’s Day. Lucky us!

Just make sure you wear your best green outfit so you don’t get pinched, because it doesn’t matter where you are from originally, next Wednesday we are all Irish. Here’re a few ideas for enjoying your love for all things green
