The biggest Irish day in the calendar year would be St Patrick's Day that is an old tradition for the Irish to celebrate. Today the St Patrick's Day tradition is celebrated my millions worldwide with thousands of parades taking places in many different countries. Many people celebrate the St Patrick's Day traditions by drinking green beer, wearing of the green and general celebrating their Irish heritage but in Ireland, our St Patrick's Day tradition is celebrated differently. For us in Ireland we celebrate the tradition by usually attending church with the family and wearing the shamrock on the breast. Once church is over most families would sit down together for a huge meal with many watching the parades in the United States that were aired on television. It was only recently that Ireland started holding big parades and it was law for Irish pubs to remain closed for St Patrick's Day, but that law was abolished to help attract more tourists to Ireland for the St Patrick's Day celebrations.

Mother's day is also a big cultural day in Omagh.
