St Patrick's Day is celebrated on which date?

St Patrick's Day is tied to the feast day of Saint Patrick, Ireland's patron saint, which falls on 17 March. This fixed date has long been used to commemorate him, so the 17th of March is the correct choice. The other dates don’t fit the tradition: 12 March isn’t linked to Saint Patrick, 1 March is associated with St David's Day in Wales, and 17 April isn’t the established date for St Patrick's Day.
