How the date of St Patrick's Day is set
St Patrick's Day is fixed on March 17, traditionally the date of Saint Patrick's death in the fifth century.

Is St Patrick's Day a day off?
It is a public holiday in the Republic of Ireland and a bank holiday in Northern Ireland. Newfoundland and Labrador in Canada also has a holiday close to the date.

Is St Patrick's Day a holiday in the US?

Why is the Chicago River dyed green before March 17?

Why does the live clock show one day less than the days count?
The days count is calendar days: tomorrow is 1 day away. The clock counts real time to midnight at the start of St Patrick's Day, so with St Patrick's Day two days away it shows 1 day and some hours. Both are right; they answer slightly different questions.
