Upcoming Events

Our club provides a wide range of activities for club members and their hounds.

Many of our club members don't show their hounds. It is important to us that the club offers events of interest for all club members. We have had great success and participation with many of our events.

NORTHERN CALIFORNIA IRISH WOLFHOUND CLUB

UNITED IRISH SOCIETIES OF SAN FRANCISCO 

174th ST. PATRICK’S DAY PARADE 

SATURDAY, MARCH 15TH 2025 @ 11:30 AM 

Only members in good standing and guests of the Northern California Irish Wolfhound may participate in this very special event! 

The Northern California Irish Wolfhound Club has made a tradition of marching in the St. Patrick’s Day Parade held in San Francisco. We are pleased to announce that we have again been invited by the United Irish Societies to continue this tradition. And what a privilege it is to be able to share our hounds with parade spectators from around the world. There are people that come to the parade year after year just to see the Irish Wolfhounds. Our hounds are truly magical and you’ll feel a sense of pride and reward by the smiles they bring to the many who come to see them! 

The theme of the 2025 St. Patrick's Day Parade is “The Immigrants Story” and honors the diverse histories, cultures, and contributions of immigrants of all backgrounds to the city of San Francisco and the nation. So please save the date and set Saturday, March 15th aside to be a part of this long-standing tradition.  

Waiver of liability documentation for this event is a requirement for participation.  

The waiver document is available on the link below and on the NCIWC Facebook page. A separate waiver must be completed for each member or guest. 

Please submit the waiver document(s) by email or PM.
