Try Your Luck with Caltrain To The St. Patrick’s Day Parade

Avoid the red tail lights of freeway traffic and save some green on expensive city parking by letting Caltrain take you to San Francisco for the 155th annual St. Patrick’s Day parade , on Saturday, March 17.

The parade starts at 11:30 a.m. at Second and Market streets in downtown San Francisco. Caltrain riders can take the train to the final San Francisco stop at 4th and King streets. From there, simply cross the street and board Muni’s N-Judah or T-Third metro lines and get off at the Montgomery Street Muni station, which is right at the start of the parade route. Parade-goers can also take Muni to the stops at Powell or Civic Center for different views of the parade.

Caltrain offers hourly service on the weekends. The last Saturday train leaves San Francisco at 12:01 a.m. and makes all weekend local stops to San Jose.
