Rep introduces bill to make St. Patrick’s Day a federal holiday

Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick (R-Pa.) introduced a bill on Friday to declare St. Patrick’s Day a federal holiday.

The bill would be the most recent new addition to the list of federal holidays, following Juneteenth, celebrated June 19, in 2021.

More than 100 parades are held in the U.S. with the largest being in New York City and Boston.
