It was one year ago this month that the pandemic kicked off a series of event cancellations that effectively brought the Bay Area’s entertainment scene to a halt. This included the annual St. Patrick’s Day parade and the music, dancing and other green-beer-fueled activities that normally surround it.
While these crowded events are still on hold, or reconfigured for a now familiar virtual setting, we do have a little luck of the Irish on our side as we prepare to celebrate the holiday on Wednesday, March 17. With vaccine rollout on the rise and COVID case numbers trending downward, spring is just around the corner, and many new city parklets are ready to host an impromptu outdoor bar crawl or two.

St Patrick s Festival 2021.
St Patrick’s Festival is understandably going to be a little different this year, but that’s not to say the team behind the festival hasn’t created an amazing, world-class programme of events for us all to enjoy, at home here in Ireland and for our Irish family across the globe. Dúisigh Éire! Awaken Ireland! is this year’s theme, a clarion call to the Irish across the world to throw off the long, dark months and rise to embrace the brighter days ahead. It promises to be a positive and uplifting celebration of our incredible people, our beautiful island, our community bonds, our young people, artists, creators and makers and our diaspora across the world.
