It’s my great honor to welcome you to the 44th Annual St. Patrick’s Day Parade and Festival, proudly presented by the Irish Congress of Southern California. Each year, we gather in San Diego to celebrate the rich traditions and joyful spirit of Irish culture — and 2026 will be no exception. We’re excited to share this year’s theme: “Here, There, Irish Culture Everywhere!” This theme celebrates the global presence and timeless joy of Irish culture — from the green hills of Ireland to the sunny streets of Southern California and beyond. Whether you're Irish by blood or simply Irish at heart, you're invited to experience the music, dance, and stories that connect us all. I chose this theme with future generations in mind — especially my son, and all young people who will carry our traditions forward. By showing that Irish culture is thriving here, there, and everywhere, we remind the next generation that they are part of something enduring and beautiful — and that they have a role in keeping it alive. Join us for a vibrant parade filled with floats, dancers, bands, and dignitaries — followed by a family-friendly festival in Balboa Park with Irish food, live music, cultural exhibits, and kids’ activities. Let’s come together to honor our roots, make memories, and share the joy of Irish culture — here, there, and everywhere The parade will kick off at 10:30 a.m. at Fifth and Laurel, progress north to Upas St., then south to Sixth Avenue where the festival is located.
