Follow @gsbrownabc. The Dublin Airport Facebook page posted this notice clarifying that it's Saint Paddy's Day, not Saint Patty's Day. (DublinAirport/Facebook). Here's a PSA from the Dublin Airport: Don't call it St. Patty's Day. Also, March 17 should never be referred to as Patty's Day either. You may, however, call it St. Paddy's Day, or Paddy's Day. Also acceptable are the traditional St. Patrick's Day and Patrick's Day.
In America, St. Patrickâs Day, on March 17, has long been commemorated with rollicking festivities, but until recent decades, the holiday, which honors Irelandâs patron saint, was traditionally a more solemn occasion on the Emerald Isle.
