Boston doesn't mess around when it comes to celebrating holidays, especially St. Patrick's Day.
The city is a major site in the U.S. for Irish heritage and culture thanks to the large number of Irish immigrants who moved to the city in centuries past, and St. Patrick's Day has become a way to celebrate one of the things that makes Boston unique.
