Breaking: Dublin Plans Biggest Saint Patrick's Day Parade Ever
Saint Patrick's Day celebrations in Dublin have consistently drawn massive crowds, with the 2009 parade attracting more than 675,000 spectators. In fact, this cherished tradition, which began as an official Christian feast day in the early 17th century, has evolved into the world's most widely celebrated national festival. While the first official state-sponsored parade in Dublin didn't take place until 1931, we've witnessed this celebration grow into a global phenomenon. Notably, Saint Patrick's Day, observed on March 17 to commemorate Saint Patrick's death in 461 AD, now inspires festivities in more countries than any other national festival. As we prepare for this year's celebration, Dublin is set to make history once again with what promises to be its most ambitious parade yet.

In the Great Plains, nomadic tribes like the Sioux hunted buffalo, and in the Southwest, the Puebloans built impressive cliff dwellings.
