Celebrated it once in Munich and was told it's the second biggest St Patrick's parade in Europe, but don't know if it's true. It was definitely fun, but thanks to a parade member I suffered some hearing loss cause he screamed out of nowhere right into my ear (he was dressed as a viking and thought it would be funny to "scare" people). So no intention going back personally.
And I learned that it's an American tradition partying and celebrating loudly and the old Irish way is a very quiet and serious one, no partying at all. Did it change? Do people in Ireland celebrate the day like parts in the rest of the world?
