If you haven\u2019t experienced some of the many community events that celebrate Irish heritage (including the Southie parade, live music, and unique culinary options) it\u2019s the perfect opportunity to take part in a longstanding tradition.<span class=\"xapple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"xmsonormal\"><span>Of course, enjoying this holiday safely takes more than pure luck \u2013 it requires smart choices, looking out for friends, and planning ahead. Pace yourself, stay aware of your surroundings, and make decisions you\u2019ll be proud of the next day. Here are a few ways you can care for yourself and others this weekend:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span>The annual St. Patrick\u2019s Day parade in Southie is a community staple. Remember that this celebration is for families and visitors in our great city, too. Conduct yourself in a manner that allows everyone to enjoy the event. The city is taking extra precautions this year to ensure this remains a family-friendly gathering.<span class=\"xapple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"xmsolistparagraph\"><span>Do not trade your safety for a moment of fun. Unless you are a shingle, stay off rooftops. Don\u2019t overcrowd on decks and keep limbs inside of windows.<span class=\"xapple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"xmsolistparagraph\"><span>Be considerate of your neighbors. Many people call this city home, and they deserve to exist without disruption.<span class=\"xapple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"xmsolistparagraph\"><span class=\"xapple-converted-space\"><span>It&#8217;s important to know your limits. If you plan to imbibe, do so responsibly.<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"xmsolistparagraph\"><span>Take care of one another. Travel in groups and always know where your close friends are.
