Our Last Event

Ocean Beach Holiday Parade

The first Saturday in December brought many of the Sons to Ocean Beach to participate in their annual holiday parade. Starting at our friend Chris’ home for a pre-staging party, we then marched the length of Newport Ave to our afterparty at The Holding Company. This year we lit up the blackthorns for a dazzling display as we sang and performed to the throngs of merry parade-watchers. It was a Holly Jolly Christmas for all!

The five states with the most smiling Irish eyes are: California, New York, Pennsylvania, Florida and Texas.

San Diego ranks 5th in counties with the highest Irish population.
