Saint Patrick’s Day 2022 Events Near Redwood City CA

Spring is coming up fast, and it feels like winter only just began the other day. Before we get to spring, there’s one holiday that we get to celebrate first, and it’s one of our favorites. Are you looking forward to St. Paddy’s Day? So are all of us at Redwood City INFINITI, and we have a list of Saint Patrick’s Day 2022 Events near Redwood City, CA that you won’t want to miss.

What Day of the Week is Saint Patrick’s Day 2022?

Every holiday works a little differently. Some holidays follow a set pattern, like Thanksgiving which is always on the fourth Thursday in November. Others fall on a set date every year regardless of what day of the week that happens to be. Saint Patrick’s Day falls in that second camp as it is always March 17th. For 2022, that means it falls on a Thursday. Unfortunately not a weekend day this year, but there is still plenty of fun to be had.
