St Patrick’s Day is most always associated with Irish Heritage, wearing green, and is always associated with drinking beer. Some places even offer green beer! Regardless of your location and beverage preference, it’s always fun to celebrate and get together with friends. Here in the mountains of Western North Carolina, we love to do the same. Check out 7 fun ways to celebrate St. Patrick in the mountains this year.
