St. Patrick's Day falls on March 17 every year, a celebration of Ireland's patron saint that has grown into a worldwide festival of all things green. This countdown is to St. Patrick's Day 2027, ticking down live to March 17.
St. Patrick's Day is on Wednesday, March 17, 2027, which is 277 days away. The live countdown above ticks down to the exact moment, to the second.
Patrick wasn't actually Irish, he was born in Roman Britain, kidnapped to Ireland as a teenager, and returned later as a missionary. March 17 marks the traditional date of his death around 461 AD, and the shamrock legend comes from his teaching.
New York has held a St. Patrick's Day parade since 1762, Chicago dyes its river green, and cities from Dublin to Tokyo throw festivals. In Ireland it's both a national holiday and, historically, a religious feast day.
