Where to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day 2025 in Zaragoza: the best Irish pubs

Saint Patrick ‘s Day, celebrated every March 17, is Ireland’s biggest holiday and one of the most popular festivals in the world, also celebrated in Zaragoza. What began as a religious commemoration in honor of Saint Patrick, the country’s patron saint, has evolved into a global event where Irish culture takes center stage.

In Ireland, the celebration lasts several days with massive parades, live music, and a host of cultural events. In Dublin, the capital, the streets are filled with people dressed in green, a color that symbolizes both Ireland and the three-leaf clover, the icon of Saint Patrick. But beyond the Emerald Isle, other countries have adopted the tradition with their own customs. Chicago, for example, has been dyeing the river green for over 60 years, in one of the most iconic images of the festival.

In Zaragoza, although there aren’t as many eccentricities as in other cities around the world, the festivities also have their place on the calendar. Several Irish pubs in the Aragonese capital join in the festivities with special events, beer deals, and an atmosphere that transports you straight to Ireland.

WHY IS ST. PATRICK’S DAY CELEBRATED?

Saint Patrick is considered the patron saint of Ireland because, according to tradition, he was responsible for evangelizing the island in the 5th century. It is said that he used a three-leaf clover to explain the concept of the Holy Trinity (Father, Son, and Holy Spirit), which is why this symbol has become an icon of the holiday.

Although March 17th commemorates the day of his death in 461, the holiday has transcended its religious origins to become an event of Irish cultural identity. Thanks to the Irish diaspora, the celebration has spread to countries such as the United States, Argentina, and Australia, where it is celebrated with great enthusiasm.
