The council of Tias, where Puerto del Carmen is located, usually organizes a celebration for St. Patrick's Day in Puerto del Carmen every year and it's a great event that draws a lot of crowds. The resort has celebrated this day every year and everything is organized with the help of the Irish community in Lanzarote.
Puerto del Carmen is the most popular resort among Irish tourists in Lanzarote, so it makes sense to have a celebration for St. Patrick's Day. Local people and other tourists are also interested in tasting food typical to Ireland, and of course the famous Irish beer.
