St. Patrick's Day 2008
Posted by Rebecca
The Saint Patrick’s Day Parade is always a fun event in Savannah, and this year was no exception. Although a little cloudy, the day brought great weather for parade-goers. My husband and I parked our car at a friend’s house, and a group of us rode bikes to the festivities. The bike ride was enjoyable, and we had the added bonus of not having to look for a parking space or walk for blocks to get to the parade route. The parade held the usual green-painted horses, marching men with lipstick smeared across their smiling faces, high school marching bands, dancing children and smiling pageant queens. This year’s events will likely keep visitors in Savannah longer than usual. Since the parade was held on a Friday, most out-of-town visitors arrived Thursday evening and will probably stay through Sunday. Be sure to head downtown to people watch and enjoy the beautiful weather and blooming flowers!
