When you think about where to go to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day, you probably automatically think of a couple of places – namely, anywhere in Ireland (of course), followed closely by New York (probably). But there are lots of cities around the globe that are noted for their St. Patrick’s Day festivities – and if you’re a budget traveler you might be more interested in seeking out the cheapest place to go rather than getting your heart set on a destination only to find out it’s the most expensive.

Even if you’re not a super budget traveler, you might just prefer the idea of doing something a little less predictable for St. Patrick’s Day. And just because you’re not going to New York or Dublin doesn’t mean you’ll have to make your own green beer. On the contrary, there are plenty of cities with big-time celebrations.

So here are some of the best places to go for St. Patrick’s Day – some of which you’d be smart to consider for potentially cheaper airfare.

You may not be Irish, but on St. Patrick’s Day you can pretend you are. Sure, it might feel more authentic if you don’t have to pretend, but after a few green beers on March 17th no one seems to care what your heritage is anymore anyway.

But unless you’re lucky enough to already live in one of the best places to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day, you might want to take a few days off and jet your way to a city that knows how to throw a St. Paddy’s Day party. Of course, the problem with that is the fact that so many people are thinking the exact same thing – and trying to fly to the exact same cities.

Any time there’s a holiday big enough to warrant big traveling crowds, the airlines (cleverly) jack up airfare. So can you still take off somewhere fun for St. Patrick’s Day without paying too much for your ticket? Yes, you can – and we’re here to tell you how.

In truth, finding cheap airfare for St. Patrick’s Day involves many of the same techniques that any holiday travel does – but unless you’re a frequent traveler you may not know all the things to look for. These tips will help you find St. Patrick’s Day travel deals, and will also serve you well no matter when or where you’re traveling in the future.
