About the Doodle:

The large-scale parades we associate with the occasion didn’t become a familiar sight in Ireland until the late 20th century. Many cities across The Emerald Isle now host lively parades featuring fiddles, bodhráns (an Irish drum), and the rhythmic footwork of traditional Irish dance. Meanwhile across the Atlantic Ocean, two million bystanders gather in New York City each year to enjoy the largest St. Patrick's Day parade in the world — which features up to 250,000 marchers.

New York City may boast the largest St. Patrick's Day parade, but it’s certainly not the oldest. One of the earliest celebrations took place in Boston in 1737, as an act of solidarity for the city's Irish immigrants. Little did they know, their small tradition would evolve into worldwide global celebration.

Happy St. Patrick’s Day to all!
