St Paddy's Day '25 in Costa Mesa

Costa Mesa may be best known for its sun-kissed beaches and creative arts, yet a spirited Irish tradition pulses beneath its modern vibe. The city’s small but dedicated Irish community has long celebrated the magic of the Emerald Isle, blending coastal culture with Celtic heritage. For St Patrick’s Day 2025, Costa Mesa prepares to host an early-morning parade that winds through scenic streets, welcoming both locals and visitors with the irresistible sound of bagpipes, traditional Irish dancers, and vibrant floats. Community groups will gather in local parks to honor Irish history, with festive events that include live music and interactive cultural displays that bridge Irish customs with California’s relaxed lifestyle. The celebration continues into the day at the city’s beloved Irish pubs—Durty Nelly’s, Hennessey’s Tavern, and The Harp Inn—each offering authentic Irish fare, booming live music, and a convivial atmosphere that mirrors the warmth of Ireland. Costa Mesa’s rich tapestry of cultural fusion and community spirit is on full display this March. Join us in Costa Mesa to experience a truly mesmerizing Irish celebration!
