Roger Casement on the Rainbow Honour Walk
The Consulate General of Ireland, San Francisco, the Rainbow Honour Walk and The United Irish Societies of San Francisco will commemorate Roger Casement this year with a bronze plaque on San Francisco’s famous Rainbow Walk of Honour, a permanent sidewalk tribute to notable LGBTQA+ individuals whose lives and achievements are celebrated in permanent installations lining the sidewalks of San Francisco's Castro District.
2025 SF Irish Film Festival — Sept 18–20
Celebrating ‘Second Chances’ and featuring the North American Premiere of Horseshoe on Opening Night.
San Francisco Irish Film was founded in 2003, and presents the very best in contemporary Irish cinema, celebrating everything from features to documentaries to Irish language films (with English subtitles for those who didn’t spend a summer at a Gaeltacht). The Irish are notorious for story telling, and the Irish Short film has rapidly become an art form in Ireland. The annual film festival includes a selection of top current Irish short films in the “Short Stories – Tall Tales” program. Throughout the year, we continue the celebration of Irish film in the Bay Area, which includes a one-day Docfest in March. The Docfest, which began in 2017 is a celebration of award winning Irish documentary film.
