Although this is a little late, I wanted to post about my visit to a few attractions that are fun not only on St. Patrick's Day but all year round. Two of them are Blarney Stones, but one is the SL version of the RL stone in Ireland that is located in Blarney Castle on the O'Hare Gap's sim; the other is the Blarney Stone Pub in SL Dublin. The last is St. Patrick's Day Town, a fun place to celebrate the Irish SL style.
When you teleport to Blarney Castle, there's a tp in the wall to go up to the Blarney Stone. The kissing animation here will literally knock you on your back, and you will get a certificate for the attempt. There's not much else to see in the castle, but the town is quaint and nice to stroll through.
The Blarney Stone pub in Dublin is a cute place and appears pretty popular by the crowd it attracts. It's casual, friendly, and has some great music and dances. I didn't get a chance to explore the rest of Dublin, but this is definitely a good stop for any visit.

Last, but not least, a third attraction I visited with some friends was St. Patrick's Town. Although it had some cute games and features (gold flying coins that you supposedly could ride but weren't easy to maneuver; step dancing with leprechauns; dunking in a giant beer mug; and other assorted Irish stuff), shopping seemed to be the predominant objective. However, I would still recommend a stop here if only to listen to the great music and get in an Irish spirit.
