St. Paddy’s Day Block Parties
Chalk it up to the luck of the Irish, but the sunshine is back in SF just in time for St. Patrick’s Day on March 17.
Put on your finest green duds and follow the rainbow to find your pot of gold pint of beer at one of San Francisco’s annual St. Paddy’s block parties. Frolic in the sun, drink a cold brew and dance a jig with lads and lassies at the Irish Bank, the Royal Exchange and Aventine’s Tavern.
Feel like bursting into song? Join the Jerk Church singers as they go Irish caroling through the city. Or are you a hungry leprechaun? Then come out to Funcheap’s outdoor party at SoMa Streat Food Park where you can also catch the NCAA playoffs. Happy St. Patrick’s Day!
