St. Patrick’s Day has grown into an annual festival when we celebrate all things Irish and Ireland. Of course, that typically means scarfing down corned beef and cabbage (yum) and guzzling green beer (yuck). As you can see from the list below, lots of places around Maui are throwing parties and offering specials. But know matter how you celebrate, it’s a time to surround yourself with good cheer and great friends. And always, please enjoy yourself responsibly!
