In 2025, Mexico is preparing to celebrate St. Patrick's Day in a special way. According to information provided by the Embassy of Ireland in Mexico, cities such as Guadalajara, Mexico City, and Querétaro have organized an extensive program full of artistic and cultural activities that will last a whole month. The celebration of St. Patrick's Day in these locations will include music, dance, theater, exhibitions, workshops, and many other activities, providing attendees with an immersion in the rich Irish culture.
St. Patrick's Day, originally associated with the color blue, has gained popularity with green for representing the lush nature of Ireland and its struggle for independence. Although shamrocks and parades are common elements in the celebration, the festivity goes beyond that; it is a global celebration with deep Irish roots that also resonate in Mexican history.
Irish leprechauns, especially the leprechauns, are part of the St. Patrick's imagination, being shoemakers and guardians of treasures in Irish folklore. The festivity has expanded worldwide, demonstrating the impact of Irish talent on popular culture. The symbol of the shamrock, used by St. Patrick to explain the Holy Trinity, has gained great popularity and has become a distinctive emblem of Ireland.
The green color, representative of this festivity, is illuminated on important monuments around the world. In Mexico, many establishments adopt the trend of drinking green beers, although in Ireland the traditional dark Guinness is preferred. As for drinks, Irish coffee, an iconic creation that emerged in 1943 at Foynes Airport in Ireland, is an example of the Irish hospitality that has transcended borders, just like artists such as U2, Enya, and The Cranberries.
To join the celebration of St. Patrick's Day, various options can be explored to find the outfit, accessories, or decoration that best represents the spirit of the festivity. Additionally, platforms like eBay offer costumes, clothing, and gifts to celebrate St. Patrick's Day appropriately.
