Saint Patrick's Day is an annual feast day which celebrates Saint Patrick, one of the patron saints of Ireland, and is generally celebrated on March 17.
The day is the national holiday of Ireland. It is a bank holiday in Northern Ireland and a public holiday in the Republic of Ireland and Montserrat. In Canada, Great Britain, Australia, the United States, and New Zealand, it is widely celebrated but is not an official holiday.
Celebrations are generally themed around all things Irish and, by association, the colour green. Both Christians and non-Christians celebrate the secular version of the holiday by wearing green, eating Irish food and/or green foods,drinking Irish drinks(such as Irish stout, Irish Whiskey or Irish Cream) and attending parades.

Consumer's Day

History and purpose

World Consumer Rights Day is an annual occasion for celebration and solidarity within the international consumer movement.
More importantly it is a time for promoting the basic rights of all consumers, for demanding that those rights are respected and protected, and for protesting the market abuses and social injustices which undermine them.
World Consumer Rights Day was first observed on 15 March 1983, and has since become an important occasion for mobilising citizen action.
Consumer organisations around the world use materials produced by Consumers International to generate local initiatives and media coverage for their work over the coming year.
The four basic consumer rights:
World Consumer Rights Day has its origins in former US President John F. Kennedy's declaration of four basic consumer rights:

* the right to safety
* the right to be informed
* the right to choose
* the right to be heard.

To these, the consumer movement through Consumers International has in recent years added four more rights:

* the right to satisfaction of basic needs
* the right to redress
* the right to education
* the right to a healthy environment
