The Annual St. Patrick's Day Parade and Festival returns to Balboa Park on March 15, 2025, offering a free, family-friendly celebration featuring live entertainment across two stages, regardless of weather conditions. Visitors can enjoy a full day of Irish culture with pre-parade step dancing at the Ashleigh Roach stage, followed by an afternoon packed with traditional music, dance performances, and bands at both the Ashleigh Roach and Main stages.
