Description
St. Patrick’s Day is almost here, and Nashville is gearing up for one of its biggest celebrations. But what is this holiday actually about? Host Marie Cecile Anderson sits down with Conor Doolan, president of Irish Network Nashville and organizer of Nashville’s St. Patrick’s Day parade in Five Points. They talk about the surprising history of St. Patrick’s Day, why many of the traditions we know today were actually created in America, and how Nashville’s Irish community keeps the culture alive.
