BENEFITS AS A SPONSOR:
Each year, over 100,000 people attend our St. Patrick’s Day Parade and Irish Festival in San Francisco. It’s a great day for family and friends. The Parade features over 150 entries, including floats, marching bands, clowns, drill teams, police and fire units, and dance units. The Festival, features entertainment on two stages with Irish folk singers, Irish dancers, craft booths, food booths, a Celtic Village and a Kids Zone.
