Saint Patrick’s Day in San Diego 2010
San Diego has a sizable Irish-American population that shares their Irish pride every year with a parade, a festival, and numerous other special events. And, of course, it wouldn’t be a proper Saint Patrick’s Day without going to one of San Diego’s many Irish bars located around the county.
Erin Go Bragh!
30th Annual St. Patrick’s Day Parade in San Diego - San Diego’s observance of St. Patrick’s Day officially begins when the Irish community parades struts their stuff on Sixth Avenue near Balboa Park. This year, the 30th Annual St. Patrick’s Day Parade and Festival is scheduled for Saturday, March 13, 2010.
The parade begins at 11am and goes until 1:30pm. The parade route starts at Sixth and Juniper, continues north on Fifth Avenue, hooks a right at Upas, proceeds south on Sixth Avenue and ends at Laurel. Our favorite entry is the Irish Setter group – be sure to get your cameras ready for them! They are cute!
The festival begins at 10am and goes until 6pm. The festival takes place on the west side of Balboa Park along Sixth Avenue between Laurel and Upas. Irish dancing, Irish music, and Irish fare and Irish beer are offered throughout the day. Picnics are encouraged and welcomed.
Please note that the parade and the festival take place rain or shine.
