First, the Irish soldiers are said to have brought the tradition of St. Patrick’s Day to the USA during the 18th century. Second, the Irish immigrants who came in waves to the USA during the 19th century also started celebrating St. Patrick’s Day. While the day is not a federal holiday, parades are held in several USA cities.
