2025 Saint Patrick’s Day Parade

The 2025 San Francisco St. Patrick’s Day Parade, held on March 15th, celebrates the theme “The Immigrant’s Story”, honoring the diverse histories, cultures, and contributions of immigrants of all backgrounds to both the city and the nation. The parade will feature a colorful array of floats, marching bands, traditional Irish dancers, and community groups, all highlighting the rich tapestry of immigrant experiences. From Irish roots to the many global cultures that have shaped San Francisco, the event will showcase the city’s legacy as a melting pot, with participants representing cultures from across the world.

Special attention will be given to the unique role that Irish immigrants played in shaping the city’s early history, while also reflecting on the broader immigrant journey. Local organizations, cultural groups, and artists will come together to share their stories through music, dance, and visual art. With marching groups, community leaders, and activists spotlighting the immigrant experience, the parade will remind attendees of the enduring spirit of inclusion and the ongoing story of people finding new homes, new opportunities, and new beginnings in San Francisco.

As always, the parade will take place along Market Street, drawing crowds from around the Bay Area and beyond to join in a spirited celebration of heritage, resilience, and unity.

When: Saturday, March 15th, 2025
Where: From 2nd & Market to the Civic Center.
