For some, St Patrick’s Day is synonymous with a night of heavy drinking. But should it be? The patron saint of Ireland is said to have started his life as a slave and ended it as a bishop — and legend has it he rid the island of snakes.

So, as fun as drinking green beer and donning a goofy, oversized hat might be, there could be other ways to commemorate his deeds and legacy.
Let’s take a look at a few alcohol-free ideas for doing up St. Patrick’s Day that won’t leave you suffering from a hangover the next day or wondering where you parked your shillelagh.
