March 2019
There are a lot of things happening this March…Spring Break, St. Patrick’s Day, March Madness, NASCAR, pools opening up, and (generally) great weather…these are just some of the things that make Las Vegas great in March. March is the least productive month of the year, nationally. And it’s all of these distractions that make it so easy to not be productive. It’s springtime!! We have just shaken off the winter and we are ready to play…so why not play in Vegas? March is one of the best times of the year to come to Las Vegas. The average temperature in Vegas for the month of March is 76 degrees and rarely falling below 58 or exceeding 86.
Daylight savings starts March 10th, and the vernal equinox is on the 20th, which is the official start of spring.
Springtime has been celebrated by every country and culture for as long as there have been countries and cultures. As the earth regenerates itself after the winter, we feel that sense of renewal as well. Something inside us just wants to bring life and freshness to our lives. We clean things out…repair, plant, and grow things.
In Ireland, It’s St. Patrick's Day! St. Patrick drove the snakes out of Ireland, and many people don't realize that the serpent was actually a metaphor for the early Pagan faiths of Ireland. St. Patrick brought Christianity to the Emerald Isle, and did such a good job of it that, for a while, he practically eliminated Paganism from the country…and now, in celebration; we drink!
Our modern day celebration centers around young adults making pilgrimages to warm climates to celebrate the sun, drink spirits, and engage in fertility rites and rituals….this is also known as Spring Break. And Las Vegas is one of the chosen destinations for these modern day festivals.
Spring brings us hope and celebrates life.
Every aspect of March seems to be about celebrating life. Spring Break…let’s drink! St. Patrick’s Day…let’s drink green beverages! NASCAR, March Madness…well, you get the idea.
March was named for Mars, the Roman God of war and a mythical ancestor of the Roman people by way of his wolf-suckling sons, Romulus and Remus. March has historically been the perfect month for both farmers to resume farming, and warriors to resume warring…almost all major US-NATO led military operations since the invasion of Vietnam have begun in the month of March, i.e., Vietnam (initiated March 8, 1965), Iraq (March 20, 2003), and Libya (March 19, 2011) all follow the trend.
March contains a lot of interesting celebrations…March 3rd is I Want You to be Happy Day, and If Pets Had Thumbs Day. The 4th is Employee Appreciation Day, Holy Experiment Day, and Hug a GI Day. The 5th is Multiple Personality Day, the 8th, Be Nasty Day; the 9th, Panic Day; and the 11th Worship of Tools Day – us guys can relate. National Pi Day is the 14th - Why today? Because 3.14 is the value of Pi. The 15th is the Ides of March, Dumbstruck Day, and Everything You Think is Wrong Day. The 16th is Everything You Do is Right Day; the 17th, Saint Patrick's Day; the 18th, Goddess of Fertility Day, Supreme Sacrifice Day; and the 20th is Extraterrestrial Abductions Day, and Proposal Day. The 22nd is National Goof Off Day; the 26th, Make Up Your Own Holiday Day; the 27th, National "Joe" Day; the 29th, Smoke and Mirrors Day; and finally, the 30th is I am in Control Day.
Don't miss the 53rd annual Southern Nevada Sons & Daughters of Erin St. Patrick's Day Parade & Festival. This year's parade theme will be Shamrocks & Shenanigans. The festival will be accompanied by three days of electrifying holiday celebrations including a carnival, festival, car show and great live entertainment.
