In 2015, St. Patrick's Day falls on a Tuesday.
But that's actually good news, since it gives those of us who are Irish (or Irish once a year) the excuse to start partying several days in advance, starting with the annual St. Patrick's Day parade, getting underway at 9:30 a.m. on Saturday, March 14.

Check out these highlights from two 2014 slideshows — Paddy's on Pearl 2014 and the Bikes and Beer Crawl — and then take the pics as a challenge.
