A compilation of highlights from the 2023 Saint Patrick's Day Parade on Market Street in San Francisco on March 11, 2023. Although I did not get everything, I would estimate that I got at least 90% of the parade. The parade lasted about 2 hours, here it is condensed down to a little over 40 minutes. The weather was rainy, but fortunately only one brief period of heavy rain. Temperature was about 54°F (12°C).
Note that unfortunately I must suppress the audio in some portions of this video where music is playing. I just can't take the risk that some music company might, at any time, decide to take the video down. It is sad, but it is what it is.
