With St. Patrick's Day just around the corner, there will be festive events across the nation. At The Georgian, opportunities for celebration surround us!
St. Patrick's Day has a long history - in Ireland, the United States, and beyond. Historically, this day recognizes the patron saint of Ireland for his good deeds. In contrast, modern St. Patrick's Day events typically focus on Irish heritage and pride as a whole.
The United States is always heavily involved in the celebration of this holiday. Historians say the first St. Patty's Day parade actually took place in North America.
Today, celebrating St. Patrick's Day takes a lot of forms. Parades are still a classic choice, but bar crawls, restaurant specials, and block parties are also popular. No matter your style, you can find a way to partake in the festivities.
We love the flexibility and convenience that living in a New Orleans apartment community gives us. The best that New Orleans has to offer lays just outside of our community doors, including some great St. Patrick’s Day events and activities!
So, wear some green and check out the festivities going on in the New Orleans community!

In our community, St. Patrick's Day celebrations are welcome. For specific guidelines or available spaces, reach out to our team! We would love to see how creative our residents can get.
Here's just a couple ideas that could work in your apartment home this St. Patty's Day:
For something more family friendly, potluck-styled Irish food could be a hit. Corned beef and cabbage are classics; however, there are other great Irish dishes. When in doubt, green colored sweet treats are always popular.
Party games are also a way to stay more tame - or go crazy. For more of a challenge, try bringing an Irish twist to existing party games!
Cocktails are a fun way to play into the green theme too. While beer is the typical choice, hosting a house party leaves room for creativity. "Lucky" cocktails or green mocktails sound delicious!
