It’s that time of year again…. When green beer becomes the norm and one must wear green or otherwise fear a pinch from a friend! Even if you aren’t Irish, it still can be fun to join in the festivities of St. Patrick’s Day and San Diegans definitely have the fun part down. Whether a family day at the park for Irish dancing and a parade is your cup of tea, or heading out for a night on the town for the annual ShamRock concert is your preference. There is plenty for you to do depending on what you like!
Below are just a few of the celebration events you can find in San Diego this weekend and on St. Patricks Day Monday March 17th!
