In Argentina, and specially in Buenos Aires, all-night long parties are celebrated in designated streets, since the weather is comfortably warm in March. People dance and drink only beer throughout the night, until seven or eight in the morning, and although the tradition of mocking those who do not does not exist, most people would wear something green. In Buenos Aires, the party is held in downtown street Reconquista, where there are several Celtic bars [10] [11]; in 2006, there were 50,000 people in this street and the pubs nearby [12]. Curiously enough, the street is named that way (“Reconquest”) remembering take over of the city after it had been invaded by the British in 1806 [13], and much of the popularity of the day is due to the Argentine animosity against Great Britain (and thus, sympathy towards the Irish). Neither the Catholic Church nor the Irish community, the fifth larger of the world outside Ireland [14], take part in the organization of the parties.
