Readers' Choice: Best Spots In RI To Celebrate St. Paddy's

Rhode Island Patch readers choose the best place to get your Irish on today.

 

Whether you're Irish, know someone who is, or just wish you were once a year, you've probably got plans to celebrate St. Patrick's Day.

Once a mainly religious holiday, the modern St. Patrick's Day has evolved into one of the most widely celebrated celebrated saints days in the world, albeit in a largely secular manner, according to wikipedia's authors. History.com notes there are nearly 7 million people in the U.S. with Irish roots.

Patch wanted to help readers find the coolest places around to celebrate the big day. Throughout Rhode Island, Patch polled readers to find out their picks. After five days of voting, the winners are in.
