St. Patrick’s Day 2022: Fort Worth’s celebrations, parties and events today through Sunday
Happy St. Patrick’s Day!
If you celebrate, you’re in luck. There are parties and events Thursday through the weekend in Fort Worth and beyond. There’s even a triathlon.
The holiday, which originated in Ireland, is usually celebrated with parades, spirits and wearing green clothing. According to IrishCentral, wearing green on St. Patrick’s Day helps make you “invisible” to leprechauns.
Whether you believe in leprechauns or not, adding green to your outfit could prevent you from getting pinched.
If you’re looking for a way to celebrate this year, here’s a list of events in and around Fort Worth.
