2012 St Patrick’s Day Parade in San Francisco

Last time I attended the St Patrick Day Parade in San Francisco was back in 2009; I do like parades, and St Patrick’s Day is probably one of my favorites.

The format does not seem to change much, although I felt it a tiny bit smaller this year, but that could be just me.

Although the stars of the parade are traditionally firefighters and policemen, this year I shifted my attention mostly to the kids participating in the parade and not.

In a cold and windy day, the parade lasted all the way from 11.30am to 3.00pm (more or less), after which the Festival would continue in Civic Center Plaza, while I decided to get back home, edit the pictures and take a nap :-)
