Like Mardi Gras\u00a0and Halloween there’s nothing small about the way the 2nd largest city in California pays homage to\u00a0St. Patrick’s Day, exemplifying its\u00a0love of outdoor parties. On\u00a0March 14, 2015 the day begins\u00a0with\u00a0a festival in Balboa Park<\/a> at 9\u00a0a.m. \u00a0At 10:30 a.m. the largest St. Patrick’s Day Parade<\/a>\u00a0west of the Mississippi\u00a0with\u00a0150 entries, bands and bagpipers, marches from 5th Avenue & Laurel to 6th &\u00a0Juniper.<\/p>\n

As the festival in Balboa Parks winds down around 6 p.m. the\u00a0annual\u00a0shamRock<\/a> block party in Gaslamp Quarter is just heating up! It starts at 4 p.m. in a popular tourist area near the harbor where you can book a hotel room (there are thousands of rooms within several\u00a0blocks,) and never drive during the time to imbibe. ShamRock\u00a0sells out so if you’re thinking of going, don’t wait till the last minute!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
