🍀Roseville, Sacramento, and beyond: 100 places to celebrate St Patrick’s Day

California cities and towns ranked by percentage of Irish residents

Roseville, Calif. – It’s almost St Patty’s Day! A day awash in a sea of green, leprechauns and four-leaf clovers. Perhaps a hearty helping of corned beef, cabbage and potatoes will set you right! May quaffing an Irish brew or a shot of Irish Whiskey to begin the day’s celebration is customary tradition? Sláinte!

For others, no St Patrick’s day is complete without cranking up some U2, Van Morrison, The Cranberries and The Dubliners for starters.

Roseville

In Roseville, Boxing Donkey will be throwing their biggest party of the year. This all-day, raucous celebration typically starts at 8:00 am, 21 and over only and includes a cover charge. A loud and wild affaire that goes all day. Word to the wise: Arrive early, plan to rideshare and be patient, lines are looong and it gets wildly crowded!
