San Francisco St. Patrick’s Day Events
St. Patrick’s Day is Back!
It’s been 3 years since the last big St. Patrick’s Day celebrations in San Francisco, with 2020 and 2021 events and parades cancelled due to the pandemic. So far in 2022, we have seen more and more restrictions lifted as we begin to slowly get back to the way our lives used to be. The streets are more crowded, bars and restaurants are seeing more customers and events are slowly coming back. Although we aren’t completely back to “normal”, San Francisco is finally showing some signs of life that we haven’t seen for some time.
St. Patrick’s Day in San Francisco is a great time to get out of the house and head to some great bars, attend some fun events and enjoy SF with friends. Some great annual block parties will be starting again after a 3 year hiatus such as the The Irish Bank Block Party and the Greenfest Block Party and, if you want to go big this year, the St. Patrick’s Day Pub Crawl will take place over two days for 2022. No matter where you end up, make sure to wear some green!
