Saint Patrick's Day is an event, originating from Ireland, where people remember St. Patrick. It usually involves a lot of alcohol.
History
During the Saint Patrick's Day parade one year, Bart accidentally becomes drunk, eventually leading to the outlaw of alcohol in Springfield.[1] Springfield tried to hold an alcohol-free Saint Patrick's Day on another occasion. However, without the alcohol, there was a street riot. Maggie and Gerald Samson fought on opposite sides (Ireland v Northern Ireland), although neither is Irish nor Catholic.[2]
