Junkyard Cafe Searches for a Leprechaun as St. Patrick’s Day Plans Come Alive – Simi Valley Invited to Submit Nominations!
Daniel Jordan 
(CLAIR | Simi Valley, CA) — The hunt is on at Junkyard Cafe, and this time they’re not looking for lost car keys in a random couch cushion. They need a leprechaun!
As St. Patrick’s Day approaches, the popular local restaurant is throwing open the doors to anyone who thinks they’ve got what it takes to bring the luck of the Irish to Simi Valley on March 17. No pointy shoes required. No pot of gold necessary. Just bring yourself, a costume and a willingness to ham it up.
This isn’t your corporate mascot gig. Junkyard wants someone real—someone who can work the room, crack jokes with regulars, photobomb a few Instagram stories, and keep the energy buzzing from the first pint to the last plate of corned beef. Short, tall, experienced, first-timer—none of that matters. What they’re looking for is someone who can own the role and make people smile.
Think you’re the one? Drop a comment below! Know someone who’d be perfect? Tag them. The cafe is watching, and they’ll reach out to the standouts. It’s basically a cattle call, but with more green, more beer and significantly better food.
The leprechaun is just the opening act. March 17 is shaping up to be a full-throttle St. Patrick’s Day bash—live bagpipes wailing through the dining room, plates piled high with corned beef and cabbage, whiskey flowing, and green beer all day long. It’s the kind of Tuesday that makes you forget the week isn’t even half over yet.
Junkyard Cafe sits at 2585 Cochran Street, right where it’s always been, ready to pack the place with familiar faces and a few new ones. More details coming soon, but the gist is simple: show up, eat well, drink cold, and stay as long as you want.
By handing the leprechaun role over to the community, Junkyard is doing what it does best—turning a party into a group project. This isn’t just another restaurant event. It’s Simi Valley claiming St. Patrick’s Day for itself, one green beer and bad Irish accent at a time.
So if you’ve ever wanted to wear the hat, now’s your chance. And if you just want to watch the chaos unfold over a plate of cabbage and a cold one, that works too. Either way, March 17 is circled. The tables are ready. The bagpipes are tuned. And somewhere out there, Simi Valley’s leprechaun is waiting to be found.
