Take Caltrain to St. Paddy's Day Parade Saturday

 
St. Patrick's Day parade in downtown San Francisco.

The parade starts at the intersection of Second and Market Streets at 11:30 a.m.

Caltrain riders can take the train to the final San Francisco stop at Fourth and King streets. 

From there, they can cross the street and board Muni’s N-Judah or T-Third Metro Service and get off at the Montgomery Street Muni station, the start of the parade route.

People also can take Muni to the all-day St. Patrick’s Day Festival, which will be held at Joe Alioto Performing Arts Plaza, just outside San Francisco City Hall. It will include live music, Irish food and drinks and business exhibits.

Caltrain offers hourly service on weekends plus two round-trip Baby Bullet express trains. Millbrae is the closest station to South San Francisco that these trains reach. 

The last Saturday train leaves San Francisco at 12:01 a.m. and makes all weekend local stops.  

Caltrain does not allow alcohol on trains after 9 p.m. following a special event, according to Caltrain officials. Disruptive passengers will be asked to detrain.
