Happy Saint David's Day
(Welsh: Dydd Gŵyl Dewi) to all of the Welsh people who celebrate.
March 1 is the feast day of Saint David, the patron saint of Wales, in remembrance of the death of Saint David in 569. The date was declared a national day of celebration within Wales in the 18th century, and a public holiday in 2000.
Public celebrations of Saint David's Day are held in Wales with an annual parade, concerts are held in pubs, clubs, and other venues, and food festivals.
The Los Angeles St. David's Day Festival - National Day of Wales is the largest annual event of its kind in the United States.
