St. David's Day, celebrated on March 1st, is a special day in Wales, a country that's part of the UK. It's like a birthday party for St. David, the patron saint of Wales, who lived a long time ago and did many good things. People in Wales wear daffodils or leeks, which are symbols of their country. They might also dress in traditional Welsh clothes, sing songs, and eat yummy Welsh foods like Welsh cakes. Schools and communities often have parades and performances to show their pride in being Welsh and to remember St. David's kind and helpful ways.
