Monday, March 17, 2026, is St. Patrick\u2019s Day, which means the party will last more or less all week.<\/p>\n
We want to drink beer and split the G like our sexiest Irish friends. We want to eat potatoes, and we want to dance and sing\u2014because it\u2019s spring, because Montreal was built on Irish labor. <\/p>\n
The first Irish arrived in Montreal at the end of the 17th century, seeking religious freedom and a piece of the New World pie. Montreal\u2019s Irish population isan integral part of the city and its constructionand history, including the iconic Victoria Bridge that connects the island to the mainland.<\/p>\n
And St. Patrick\u2019s Day is a holiday that celebrates the arrival of Christianity in Ireland, brought by the saint in question.
