Even the Airlines Love to Join in the Party for St. Patrick's Day

Happy St. Patrick's Day! Although the daytime parades are pretty much over, the evening drinking shenanigans are just getting started around the country as people exchange their office clothes for green beads and wool sweaters.

Meanwhile over at Delta's area at Salt Lake City Airport, the gate agents are mixing it up by donning their green wigs all day and getting some Irish eyes smiling with their spirit. The picture above, posted on Twitter and retweeted by @DeltaAirLines themselves, proves that even though last weekend was a serious downer for Delta and almost every other airline flying to the Northeast during the storms, a little bit of celebration and the promise of spring does wonders to lift moods.

The Top Three Cities for St. Patrick's Day Parades (That Aren't NYC or Boston)

Savannah's St. Patrick's Day Parade

The United State's biggest and oldest St. Patrick's Day celebration takes place on the streets of New York, but there are tons of other cities that throw similarly huge parades, complete with floats, bagpipes and tons of revelers decked out in green. It just goes to show that you don't always have to jump the Atlantic Ocean to celebrate St. Patrick's Day properly in Ireland; in fact, some US cities make a bigger deal out of the holiday than the homeland does, and we've found the Top 3.

Where to Look for Travel Deals for St. Patrick's Day in Boston

It's not simply a coincidence that Boston is this week's featured destination on Travelzoo. With St. Patrick's Day on March 17 and therefore only a week left to make frantic last-minute plans for the holiday, many are getting antsy for the excuse to drink green beer and wear giant, ridiculous hats out in public.

Last week, we detailed a great package for a tour around Ireland over the holiday. But if you prefer to keep it domestic, or you just can't take enough days off of work to do Dublin, then Boston would be the the spot.
