When is St Patrick’s Day 2027?
St Patrick’s Day falls on March 17 every year — Wednesday, March 17, 2027 in 2027. The date is fixed and never changes, only the day of the week.
St Patrick’s Day is an official public holiday in Ireland and Northern Ireland and a widely celebrated cultural holiday in the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and anywhere else with an Irish diaspora. In Chicago, the Chicago River is dyed green. In Boston, the South Boston parade dates back to 1737. In Ireland itself, the day is marked with parades, mass, traditional music, and a national day of celebration.
If you’re counting down to a specific St Patrick’s Day moment — your local parade start time, your pub’s St Paddy’s special, a dinner reservation, or a flight to Dublin or Boston for the celebrations — adjust the date and time in the configurator above.
A Quick Note on Spelling: St Patrick’s vs St Paddy’s vs St Patty’s
You’ll see the day spelled three ways online: “St Patrick’s”, “St Paddy’s”, and “St Patty’s.” All three appear in search and on social media, but here’s the breakdown:
St Patrick’s Day — the full and correct name of the holiday, honoring Saint Patrick, the patron saint of Ireland.
St Paddy’s Day — the correct Irish shortened form. “Paddy” comes from “Pádraig”, the Irish form of Patrick. This is what Irish people and people of Irish heritage prefer.
St Patty’s Day — the very common American shortened form. While widely used, “Patty” is technically incorrect — it’s the shortened form of “Patricia”, a woman’s name. Most Irish people gently roll their eyes at this one, but the spelling appears so often online that it’s worth knowing both.
This countdown works regardless of which spelling you use. Set your Title field to whichever feels right to you and your celebration.

Pick a theme. The Bold theme has clean modern energy. The Cream theme is warm and traditional. The Dark theme adds a pub-y, atmospheric feel.

Ideas for Counting Down to St Patrick’s Day
A countdown is more fun when there’s something to do during the wait. A few favorites that pair nicely with the timer:
A green-outfit prep timeline — every year, the scramble for “something green to wear” is real. Use the countdown to plan: pick the outfit 2 weeks out, accessorize 1 week out, iron and ready the morning of. No more pinching.
A daily Irish music tradition — for the 7 days before St Patrick’s Day, play one Irish song or band each day. By the day itself, you’ve got a fully primed playlist for the celebrations.
A traditional cooking project — corned beef, cabbage, soda bread, shepherd’s pie, and colcannon all take preparation. Use the countdown to schedule cooking days so the feast is ready for the family table.
A parade and pub crawl plan — for cities with major parades (Boston, Chicago, NYC, Savannah), the countdown is your reminder to lock in transport, pub reservations, parade-viewing locations, and meeting times. The day is hectic; planning ahead makes it work.
A leprechaun trap for kids — many families make leprechaun traps with kids in the days leading up to March 17. Use the countdown to plan the build-up, then “discover” the green-glittered traps on the morning of March 17 (along with little “evidence” of leprechaun mischief — green footprints, tipped-over chairs, a little pile of gold coins).
A family Irish heritage project — for families with Irish roots, use the countdown days to share family stories, look at old photos, or trace ancestry one branch at a time. Make the celebration personal.
Use the Countdown for Any Spring Event
The same free countdown timer works for any spring event you’re tracking: Easter (Sunday, March 28, 2027), Holi (Tuesday, March 23, 2027), Mother’s Day (Sunday, May 9, 2027), the start of spring break, a vacation, a wedding, or any other moment that matters. Just change the title and date above and the countdown updates instantly.
For people who love St Patrick’s Day as the kickoff to a full spring of celebrations, set up multiple countdowns at once — one for St Paddy’s, one for Easter, one for spring break. The share links stay independent so you can drop each one in the right friend group.
