Welcome to the official website of the Bushmills San Francisco Irish Pipers! The band was formed in 1932 as the Irish Pipers Band of San Francisco by Irish immigrants that desired to maintain the piping traditions of their native land. Bushmills San Francisco Irish Pipers is the oldest continuously active Irish Pipe Band west of the Mississippi River. This year, we celebrate our 75th Anniversary!
Here you will find important information about band performances, competitions, fund raisers, and FREE instruction for the bagpipes and drums.
Please visit often for continuous updates.
