St Patrick’s Day is almost upon us (Friday, March 17th to be specific), and NYC is bringing out the Irish in everyone!
To commemorate the holiday, the Empire State Building will sparkle green, with an Irish flag in the mast on St. Patrick’s Day, in partnership with Slainte Whiskey and BlueCheck Ukraine.
Of course, one of the most special traditions in NYC is the Empire State Building lighting up for different occasions. Though it’s often in its “signature white,” it will transform into a bright and colorful beacon for holidays, city events, fundraisers and more.
It has previously glowed light blue to honor NYCFC’s Home Opener and this Friday, it will once again illuminate the NYC sky, this time in a gorgeous green.
For other St. Patrick’s Day happenings in NYC, don’t miss the annual St. Patrick’s Day Parade marching up Fifth Avenue or grab a refreshing pint at one of NYC’s best Irish pubs.
