St Patrick’s Day is a day for people all over the world to celebrate Irish heritage, and an excuse to get very, very drunk.
It started as a celebration of the patron saint of Ireland, however, now it is yet another day in the calendar which has been lapped up by consumerists to rinse the public of every last penny.
In saying that, it doesn’t stop us from painting our faces green and heading to Irish pubs in town to drink a pint of Guinness and do an Irish jig.
With celebrations kicking off at 3pm and going across four floors, Waxy’s have lined up lots of surprises throughout the day and night.
This 12 hour party will see Glasgow residents party in true Irish style.
