St. Patrick's Day celebrations are expected to generate $7 billion in spending this year, with approximately 60% of consumers planning to participate by spending an average of $45.

For Carrick Mor Irish Store in Bergen County's Glen Rock, St. Patrick's Day is a significant event. The store offers handmade Irish products and sees a surge in sales during this time.

"It's amazing because it's kind of like a miniature Christmas. You want something special you didn't find online, that you picked out yourself, you know is from Ireland. Everything in this store is from Ireland," says Michael McGowan, co-owner of Carrick Mor Irish Store.
