Many cities have celebrated traditions, from Chicago dyeing the Chicago River green to New York City&#8217;s historic St. Patrick&#8217;s Day Parade. <i>WalletHub<\/i>, however, says this Nevada city is a more desirable place to celebrate all things Irish.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>Reno Ranks High<\/b><\/span><span class=\"s1\"><b>\u00a0<\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Reno, &#8220;The Biggest Little City in the World,&#8221; was a highly ranked surprise on the <i>WalletHub <\/i>Best Cities for St. Patrick&#8217;s Day Celebrations. The Nevada city that&#8217;s home to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.casino.org\/news\/reno-has-a-new-casino-as-the-mint-opens\/\">numerous casinos<\/a> ranked No. 2 on the March 17 holiday list.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Reno scored high marks for its St. Patrick&#8217;s Day traditions, cost of celebrations, and safety and accessibility. The city&#8217;s typically clear and mild weather also didn&#8217;t hurt. Only Boston outranked Reno on the best places to go for St. Patty&#8217;s.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"main-blockquote\">\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Reno comes to life with vibrant traditions and events for everyone to enjoy. The Reno Leprechaun Crawl, a fun downtown bar crawl featuring themed events and drink deals, and the Annual Leprechaun Race 5K, a family-friendly race where runners dress in their best St. Paddy&#8217;s garb, are some of its highlights,&#8221; the <i>WalletHub <\/i>study explained.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Reno has the 21st-most Irish pubs per capita in the US. And those watering holes serve up some of the cheaper pints in the country. Some notable Irish pubs include Ceol Irish Pub, Shenanigan&#8217;s, and Ole Bridge.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><strong><span class=\"s1\">More than 31 million Americans claim Irish ancestry, making Irish one of the largest ancestry groups in the country. St. Patrick&#8217;s Day didn&#8217;t originate in Ireland but in North America when colonies first observed the patron saint&#8217;s death many centuries ago.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">While major St. Patrick&#8217;s Day celebrations began in North America, the holiday has since grown in popularity in Ireland. St. Patrick&#8217;s Day is now a national holiday in Ireland, with banks, schools, and many businesses closed. Dublin&#8217;s St. Patrick&#8217;s Day Parade regularly attracts more than 500,000 spectators.<\/span><span class=\"s1\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>St. Patrick&#8217;s Day Hotels<\/b><\/span><span class=\"s1\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Mulling a last-minute trip to Reno for the Irish shindig?
