St. Patrick's Day Parade Watchers

The 168th annual San Francisco Saint Patrick's Day Parade marched up Market Street to Civic Center on Saturday under bright, sunny skies.

The Irish Festival in Civic Center Plaza was cancelled this year due to "unforeseen circumstances"...

...so the young party people congregated on a lawn close to the Asian Art Museum...

...where they drank and socialized.

Whatever the unforeseen circumstances, it was nice not having drunk young people puking all over the neighborhood later in the afternoon...

...though there were still a few youngsters who looked as if they had started imbibing too early and hard.

Walking upstream, it was as interesting to observe the parade watchers as the parade marchers themselves.

Sartorial awards go to the woman with the green neon wig...

...and the gentleman with the shamrock blazer...

...not to mention the punk leprechaun in the Muni Metro.
