Music City is steeped in history and provides plenty of great opportunities for a St. Patrick’s Day celebration. St. Patrick’s is a celebration of all things Irish worldwide. The day honors the Irish patron St. Patrick, who brought Christianity to its people.
As the streets line up with people, events pop around town, and the vibes get more celebratory, Von Elrod’s wants to join the party. Let’s walk through a quick history lesson of the most unique traditions in Nashville to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day.
St. Patrick’s Day Traditions in Nashville
While shamrocks dress up the city, everyone is getting ready to enjoy soda bread, cabbage, corned beef, and delicious Irish plates. Try to whip up a traditional Irish dish or visit your local Irish restaurant to kickstart the festivities.
After your meal, don’t miss any of the Irish music played at parades across the city. Musical instruments get to shine during St. Patrick’s Day performances, and Irish dancers get to show off their best moves.
Some people like to partake in old-time traditions like the St. Patrick’s Purgatory. It’s an old tradition associated with spiritual healing. But since you’ll be in Nashville for other festivities, you can try visiting the St. Patrick’s Church and get all your sins healed there too.
At last, you will find yourself finishing a bar crawl with your friends and loved ones. These popular events hosted by local bars call for attendees to visit local pubs as they complete challenges and try different beers and drinks to celebrate the festivities.
