Similarly to Argentina, it may seem strange that the Caribbean would be one of the places to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day. It has however, had an Irish connection since the 17th century when Irish Catholic servants found friendly Montserrat when they were disregarded by other English-ruled Caribbean islands. The Irish mixed with the African slaves, creating a unique Afro-Irish culture. Thus, often St. Patrick’s Day is a bigger event in the Caribbean than in America, as the festivities last a full week with parades, people clad in green wearing shamrocks with calypso and iron-band music surging the parties forward. The pubs even dye the beer green. So there are many places to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day with full-blown festivities that promise days of fun.
