The luck of the Irish is coming back to Ocean Beach — two-fold. 💚

The second-ever St. Paddy’s O’Beach Party will return to the Ocean Beach Pier parking lot (near Newport Avenue) Friday, March 17, and Saturday, March 18, from 1-11 p.m. both days.

The 21+ festival — from the organizers behind OB Oktoberfest — will celebrate St. Patrick’s Day with headlining reggae rockers The Expendables and other musical performers, plus themed games and green beer.

On Saturday, the event will host a “Guac Off” competition featuring recipes from local vendors vying to be crowned the “Best Guac in OB.” Last year, La Doña took the title. 🥑

General admission tickets can be purchased at the door for $20, or you can snag $50 VIP tickets online that includes two drinks and other perks. A portion of proceeds will benefit two community organizations, Ocean Beach MainStreet Association and The Peninsula Alliance.
