St. Patrick's Day - St Patrick's Day in Montserrat
Time: Thursday Mar 17, 1768
Place: Montserrat
Details: The island of Montserrat is known as the "Emerald Island of the Caribbean" because of its founding by Irish refugees from Saint Kitts and Nevis.

The holiday in Montserrat also commemorates a failed slave uprising that occurred on 17 March 1768.
