Do the Irish celebrate Saint Patrick's Day?
One answer is we don't , it's a holiday so we'd enjoy a 'drink' or 10 . In years gone by, people would wear a sprig of shamrock on their clothes for the day , go to mass, go to see the local parade of bands and floats, then head to the pub. Nowadays it's more likely to adorn your cars with tricolour flags , go to see the local parade, go to local events, then go to the pub.
Is the Charles river dyed green to celebrate Saint Patricks Day?
YesYes and No. The Charles River flows through the city of Boston. I heard this story... Unfortunately, the original city planners designed the storm drains and the sewer system of Boston as one in the same. They combined the systems into one piping system. Consequently, the sewage treatment plants must process the city sewage AND the the rain water that enters all the city storm drains. At times of unusually heavy rainfall, the sewage treatment plants cannot handle the massive volume of rain water mixed with sewage, and the untreated overflow is forced into the Charles River. As a result the excessive growth of bacteria feeding off the untreated sewage causes the river water to turn green. So, if this accidental and unfortunate incident occurs on St. Patrick's Day, I guess we might say that we have colored the Charles River the color of green in celebration of St. Patrick's Day. I understand that ALL other cities in America designed the sewage system separate from the storm drain system. Boston is the only city with this problem.

What are the 2 reasons you should wear Green on St Patrick's Day?
Because you wont get pinched and so you can have good luck. Saint Patrick isn't associated with the color green, but he is the patron saint of Ireland, and Ireland's national color is green, as is half of its national flag. So people like to wear green to celebrate the festival of one of the Saints of Ireland. Saint Brigid, another Saint of Ireland, isn't especially linked to the color green, but her day - February 1st - is frequently symbolized by a cross (not a crucifix-shape) made of roughly-woven rushes (a sort of dried grass), or straw.
