St. Patrick's Day 2025: Here's where to find food discounts and deals in Arizona

Arizona Republic

St. Patrick's Day is upon us, but you don't need a little luck to save some money and celebrate this holiday.

St. Patrick’s Day is the feast of Saint Patrick, the patron saint of Ireland. In Ireland, he's celebrated with religious services and feasts. Cities with lots of Irish immigrants stage large-scale celebrations. Irish and non-Irish people alike participate in the holiday now, wearing green clothing or a shamrock, the Irish national plant.

If you're looking to get in on the festivities, many restaurants in the United States are offering new items or discounts for the holiday. Here's where to go in Arizona to score the deals.
