Top o’ the morning to you. Although Pittsburgh held its annual St. Patrick’s Day parade on Saturday, the holiday is Thursday. In honor of our Irish friends, here’s a look at St. Paddy’s Day events today and through the weekend around the area. So grab a pint of Guinness – or your limited-edition Shamrock Shake from McDonald’s – and let’s go!
