The COVID-19 pandemic is not stopping some people from celebrating St. Patrick’s Day. This year, things are being done differently due to parade cancellations and social distancing recommendations implemented by health officials.
Some people across the world are celebrating the lucky holiday virtually! The uplifting content is being shared on Twitter and other social media platforms, and it allows people to create a virtual parade of their own.
Here are a few examples of what some people across the globe are doing for St. Patrick’s Day:
So: the #StPatricksDay parades might not be happening but with your help we'll create a virtual parade of our own.
You could be twirling a baton, dancing a jig or donning the green … just use #RTEVirtualParade for all your pix or vids@RadioRayRTE @zuroph @RyanTubridyShow pic.twitter.com/76TgHuNfDU

Everyone at @IrelandinNL wishes you all a happy & safe #StPatricksDay
For many of us it will be a #VirtualStPatricksDay 😕 but let’s keep looking out for each other in these challenging times.
Keep an eye out for the #GlobalGreening, a worldwide symbol of Irish solidarity! 🌍 pic.twitter.com/7PrR46NmTZ

Social distancing doesn't mean you can't go outside! Learn about growing clover in your lawn! #organiclawncare #mocolawns #stpatricksday https://t.co/SFMRYWm6Ht pic.twitter.com/gABSttwG4y

Happy #StPatricksDay! If you’re missing the parade, you can march around your living room wearing Aran sweaters and playing the bagpipes like Portia and I did.
