The annual Saint Patrick's Day Parade in San Francisco is the oldest and largest Saint Patrick's Day Parade west of the Mississippi. The 2008 parade will be the 156th Saint Patrick's Day parade in San Francisco. The parade will get underway at 11:30 A.M. at the corner of Second and Market Streets, about a block or two from the Ferry Building. The parade will travel up Market Street and end in front of City Hall.
Talented participants like San Francisco's Irish Pipers and the San Mateo Bearcat Marching Band will spread the Irish cheer with the traditional sound of bagpipes and drum rolls while a myriad of Irish dance schools will showcase their customs and fancy footwork to invigorating melodies for all parade lovers. Community organizations such as the Irish Wolfhound Rescue Trust will put their best foot forward, marching alongside one man's most favorite "four-legged" friend, the Irish Wolfhound, and City Officials, will show their "green" side by joining the St. Patrick's Day Parade and Celebration.
According to the United Irish Societies, the parade's organizers, the 2008 Saint Patrick's Day Parade is going to be the largest ever, with more participants and new features. In 2007, the parade drew out a quarter of a million people.
And don't forget that after the parade there will be a Beer Garden, traditional Irish music and homemade Irish food at Civic Center, right in front of San Francisco City Hall.
