St. Patrick's Day Festival

HISTORIC DISTRICT. Schedule your travel plans for this event early! The city swells with over 500,000 celebrants, and many folks extend their St. Paddy's Day stays to include even more time in Savannah. The Irish would be proud of the party place that the town becomes! [N.B. In 2008, the event is scheduled for the Friday before the traditional St. Patrick's Day to avoid conflicting with Holy Week leading up to Easter on March 23.]
