The Scoop on St. Patty's Day

The History: 

Ever wonder why we go green on St. Patrick’s Day? Well, back in 18th century Ireland, green became a symbol of rebellion against British rule. That spirit stuck, and now we celebrate it big time!

Wearing Green:

Legend has it that mischievous Leprechauns will pinch you if you're not sporting green. So, slap on some green garb and join the fun! Get creative with it because if you don't, some of your friends may indulge in pinching you!
