San Francisco’s St Patrick’s Day parade is set to be bigger and better than ever this year, with a new focus on bringing together the entire Bay Area community . The theme of the 2024 parade will be ‘UniteSF’, which will focus on inclusivity and new partnerships.
The mission, according to organizers, is to share St Patrick’s Day with everyone and embrace all the unique cultural groups across San Francisco .
“We’ve always had people from all over walk in the parade itself but what we’re trying to do this year is make the afterparty for everyone,” said organizer James Quinn. “We want everyone in the city to come and enjoy it.”
