St Patrick’s Day is on Saturday.

It’s a day associated with wearing the color green, and for many, the enjoyment, sometimes excessively, of alcoholic beverages.

On Friday, KRON4 sat down with a board member of San Francisco’s United Irish Cultural Center to talk about the real meaning of St. Patrick’s Day.

The 167th St. Patrick’s Day parade will take place Saturday in San Francisco. 

It starts at 11:30 a.m. at 2nd and Market. 

A festival will also take place at the Civic Center Plaza starting at 10 a.m.
