2. The Color Green Wasn't Always Associated with St. Patrick?s Day ? Originally, blue was the color associated with St. Patrick?s Day. The switch to green likely comes from Ireland?s nickname, "The Emerald Isle," and the shamrock, which is green.
3. St. Patrick?s Day Parades Started in the U.S. ? The first recorded St. Patrick's Day parade actually took place in New York City in 1762, not in Ireland. Irish soldiers serving in the British Army held the parade to celebrate their heritage.
