The St. Patrick's Day parade that's a 198-year-old tradition in Savannah will commence Thursday for the first time since 2019.
FILE - Revelers prepare for the 195-year-old St. Patrick's Day parade on one of the city's historic squares, Saturday, March 16, 2019, in Savannah, Ga. Savannah is gearing up for a big comeback of its most profitable holiday Thursday, March 17, 2022, as its beloved St. Patrick's Day parade returns for the first time since 2019. .
Started in 1824 by Irish immigrants to Savannah, the St. Patrick's Day parade has ballooned into a sprawling celebration that's one of the South's largest street parties after Mardi Gras.Hundreds of thousands of gaudy green revelers typically pack the sidewalks and manicured squares of Savannah's downtown historic district for the Irish holiday every March 17. Patrons start lining up for drinks at local bars as early as 7 a.m., and the party keeps going until after midnight.
“There’s a lot of people out on the streets already, and all signs point in a good direction,” said Joe Marinelli, president of Visit Savannah, the city's tourism bureau.He said hotels in down Savannah are filling up, and bookings are looking strong in the rest of the city and surrounding Chatham County. Many visitors are planning a long weekend, arriving Wednesday and leaving Sunday. And high gas prices don't appear to be discouraging visitors from hitting the road, Marinelli said.
And city officials withheld permits for a multi-day festival with beer tents and outdoor concerts on Savannah's riverfront. The event has drawn some of the biggest St. Patrick's Day crowds in the past. Mayor Van Johnson said the change was made mostly to curb public drunkenness and to boost business at bars and restaurants.“I think we're going to be slammed.
