While Savannah locals will argue that we have the largest St. Patrick's Day Parade in the United States, we actually have the second largest, coming in just behind New York City's! Not only is it one of the most popular annual events in Savannah, we strive to make it a family bonding experience while adult partying happens mainly on River Street and at City Market.
The Saint Patrick’s Day Parade Committee does a really good job of making it a family friendly event in order for everyone who comes out to get their green on to have a memorable and happy experience. This year marks the 189th annual parade here in Savannah and you can expect to see between 310-320 Navy units, the ever popular Clydesdales, bands from around the country, many high school bands, and plenty of pipes, drums, and Irish celebrating!
This year's parade is on Saturday, March 16th and starts at 10:15am. This annual celebration is religious as well as cultural, and also on Saturday morning, Mass is held at the Cathedral of Saint John the Baptist on Lafayette Square.

Looking for a place to spend the day just outside of the Savannah area? Tybee Island is about 25 minutes away and is a perfect place to take the family or a group of friends!
The Tybee Pier and Pavilion is one of the most popular attractions on Tybee Island and for good reason - the number of things you can do here are mind boggling! No matter what your interests, age, or number of people in your party, there is a reason for anyone and everyone to keep coming back. Located just off U.S. Highway 80 at the end of Tybrisa Street, the Tybee Pier and Pavilion also comes with a unique history that will intrigue even the most involved history buffs.
Built in 1891 by the Central of Georgia Railroad, the original Tybee Pier was called the Tybrisa Pavilion. It stood as a landmark that attracted day-trippers and other seasonal visitors and eventually became a legendary stop on the “Big Band” tour for five decades of entertainers! In 1967, a fire tragically destroyed the popular landmark where it was left to become just a memory in the hearts of all who had visited. Thankfully, in 1996, the people of Tybee Island, Chatham County built the Tybrisa Pavilion II, which is what is known today as the Tybee Pier and Pavilion, a premier entertainment center.
Things to do at the Tybee Pier and Pavilion (which is free to the public I might add):
Spending the day in Tybee Island is just one of the day trips you can take with your family or friends that will take you out of Savannah to experience something new. Don't want to visit Tybee? Stay in Savannah and experience the area with one of these 3 unique tours!
