The St. Patrick's Day Parade

What US City doesn’t love a parade for St Paddy? Well in LA there are two. The first is the St Patrick’s Day Parade which sees crowds line the streets of Downtown for a procession that features marching bands, floats, Irish dance groups, as well as a variety of enticements to keep you entertained. The route goes down Figueroa Street and ends at 5th Street.

If you’re after something with a more scenic, ocean view, the Hermosa Beach St. Patrick's Day Parade is one of the best in Los Angeles. It features floats, bands, dancers and more; all donning their best Celtic flare. Starting at 11am on Pier Avenue, it heads all the way down to the beach. After the parade, head to one of Hermosa Beach's many great bars and restaurants for a pint of Guinness or some Irish food.

Come out and soak up the rays as you celebrate St. Patrick's Day in style.

Irish Pubs in Los Angeles

Los Angeles is home to a large Irish population and that means there are plenty of great Irish pubs in the city to celebrate St. Patrick's Day.

The Celtic Tiger, in Hollywood, always has a great atmosphere. The pub has a large outdoor patio area that's perfect for enjoying a pint of Guinness (or two) while people-watching on Hollywood Boulevard.

If you're looking for something a bit more traditional then head to Tom Bergin's Tavern in Mid City. This historic tavern has served Irish comfort food and drinks since 1936 and is always packed on St. Patrick's Day. The green beer is a must. 

In Koreatown, Casey's Irish Bar is great for something a little different. Well known for its lively atmosphere and tasty Irish-Korean fusion dishes, including kimchi potato pancakes and bulgogi shepherd's pie, they also have an extensive list of Irish whiskeys and craft beers to choose from.

Farmer's Market St. Patrick's Day Celebration

It might seem a little left field, but a great way to get into the Irish spirit could be a trip to your local farmer's market?

Many markets will be offering special Irish-themed items in honor of the holiday, so you’ll have just what you need to make a traditional Irish meal. Think potatoes, cabbage, carrots, onions, and of course, plenty of green vegetables.

Not in the mood for cooking? No problem. You’ll find plenty of prepared food options available too. Everything from Irish Soda Bread to Corned Beef and Cabbage. Be sure to grab some shamrock cookies or a green cupcake to sweeten your day.

A Flogging Molly Concert Will Rock You Out

There’s one last memorable way we think could have you celebrating St. Patrick's Day like no other - a Flogging Molly concert. This Irish-American punk rock band always puts on an amazing show and their music is sure to get you on your feet.

For those searching for a more lively atmosphere, several bars and clubs host St. Patrick's Day parties. The Rooftop Bar at The Standard Hotel in Downtown LA is great and features live music as well as amazing views of the city skyline. Seven Grand and Barney's Beanery are also great options to consider.
