Despite #Winchester having a fairly sizable proportion of #Irish settlers, #SaintPatricksDay has generally been a low-key affair for the town. Before #CelticFest became an annual downtown event, organized #StPatricksDay celebrations were more informal affairs. The earliest mention I was able to find (so far) even mentioning the day in a local publication was in the #WinchesterRepublican, March 29, 1834: https://reliconthelethe.blogspot.com/2025/03/st-patricks-day-in-winchester.html
