Savannah St Patrick's Parade 2024

Live Stream, Lineup, Route, Start Time, Schedule

Revel in St Patrick's day magic in Savannah. This will be the 200th Savannah St Patrick's day parade and it is one of the more unlikely heroes of this festival in the United States, with a city that has a population not too far over 100,000 hosting a parade that attracts spectators many times that number. We should note that this is a family friendly event, and as such no alcohol is served or permitted along the parade route.

The event's scale and popularity can be traced back to the large number of Irish settlers in the area right back in it's very earliest days, and although an exact start date is difficult to pin down it is known that a version of the St Patrick's day parade has been taking place in Savannah since way back in the very early 19th century, making the tradition in the region of an almost incredible 200 years old. From humble beginnings it is now estimated by organisers that the annual parade attracts in the region of 1 million spectators.

The parade is actually only one part of a larger St Patrick's festival that takes place across Savannah that also includes the Greening of the Fountain in Forsyth Park, the Tybee Island Irish Heritage Parade, the Sgt. William Jasper Memorial Procession and Ceremony, the Celtic Cross Mass, Procession, Ceremony and Reception and the Mass of the Feast of St Patrick that immediately precedes the parade.

The Savannah St Pat's parade takes place on on Saturday 16th March from 10.50am.
