San Francisco St. Patrick's Day Pub Crawl: LepraCon

Every March, San Francisco turns a little greener, a little louder & a lot more fun. November and December are filled with friends, family, presents and usually a little time off of work, but the beginning of the year is always a little slow as you get back into your routine. However, as March gets closer, you can feel the excitement brewing as all the upcoming concerts, festival lineups and special events get announced. St. Patrick's Day is the day that kickstarts the fun stuff for the year.

For more than a decade, the city’s St. Patrick’s Day Pub Crawl has been the official start to the fun of the new year, bringing thousands of people into the streets, bars and neighborhoods that know how to throw a proper party. For 2026, Saturday, March 14 is the day it all comes together.

Produced by CrawlSF, San Francisco’s original pub crawl company, the San Francisco St. Patrick’s Day Pub Crawl is the biggest St. Patrick’s Day party in the city. Over 10,000 people will flood The Marina, Nob Hill, Russian Hill, Polk Gulch and more for a full day of bar hopping, music and cheap drinks. It’s the kind of event that feels less like a bar crawl and more like a moving festival that heads to one neighborhood at a time.

Saturday is the heart of the weekend. Starting in the afternoon and rolling well into the night, the crawl brings together party people who treat this event as a yearly tradition. Bars open their doors early, DJs turn things up and the streets fill with green outfits, Irish cheer and that rare San Francisco energy where everyone feels like they’re part of the same plan.

What makes this crawl special isn’t just the size (although it’s massive). It’s the drinks, djs bars and, most importantly, all the awesome and fun people who attend CrawlSf events. Participants check in, grab their wristbands and maps & then move freely between some of the city’s best neighborhoods. A free party bus shuttle runs all day Saturday, making it easy to bounce from spot to spot without missing a beat. No stress. No planning. Just follow the crowd and enjoy the ride.

It’s loud, it’s fun and it’s really awesome. You’ll meet new people, revisit favorite bars and discover a few new ones along the way. By the end of the night, everyone’s already talking about next year. This is one of the events CrawlSF is known for. Big crowds. Smooth logistics. And a party that feels easy, exciting and very San Francisco.
