Photos: Dublin (the California one!) holds 41st St. Patrick’s Day Parade
A city named after Ireland’s capital has to put on a good show for St. Patrick’s Day.
So on Saturday morning, the 41st holiday parade got under way in Alameda County’s Dublin with bagpipe and high school bands and plenty of floats, cars and revelers decked out in green.
The city of San Francisco, with its Irish roots, also hosted a parade. And the crowd for San Jose’s annual Shamrock Run wound its way through downtown.
The Bay Area festivities — Irish dance and music, pub crawls, corned beef feasts — will continue Sunday and through the holiday, Monday.
