Hermosa Beach St. Patrick’s Day Parade

It’s no Emerald Isle, but Hermosa Beach is full of Irish spirit during its annual St. Patrick’s Day parade. For the 30th year, bagpipers, marching bands, Irish dancers and classic cars decked out in green will all make their way along the coastal city’s parade route. The procession kicks off near City Hall on Valley Drive, heads west on Pier Avenue and ends at the corner of Hermosa Avenue and 8th Street. The free festivities also include live music and dancing nearby at Pier Plaza. If you want to start the shenanigans early, there’ll be a pre-parade party on March 13 with more music, food and drinks ($13, location and time TBA).
