SUMMARY: St. Patrick’s Day, celebrated on March 17, honors the missionary who introduced Christianity to Ireland. This festive day, where everything turns green, was brought to America by Irish immigrants. Boston held the first official observance in 1737, while St. Augustine claimed the earliest celebration in 1600. In Mississippi, St. Patrick’s festivities kick off in Biloxi with a parade and family-friendly festival on March 15, 2025, followed by Jackson’s Hal’s St. Paddy’s Parade on March 22. Celebrations span the state, inviting everyone to wear green and partake in the fun, avoiding leprechaun pinches along the way.
