Savannah’s St. Patrick’s Day celebration has become one of the largest St. Patrick’s Day celebration in the nation – some publications declare it the 2nd largest, others the 3rd.
With two weeks of activities leading up to the finale, our Savannah St. Patrick’s Day Parade, that should be no surprise to Coastal Empire Seniors.
St. Patrick’s On the River Festival
Savannah’s River Street is no stranger to celebration, and the River Street merchants step things up significantly for Savannah’s St. Patrick’s weekend festival.
St. Patrick’s On the River Festival has become Savannah’s biggest community celebration of the year. This Savannah Irish heritage festival has drawn national attention and big crowds of Coastal Georgia seniors add to the Savannah St. Patrick’s Day mix.
If you are a Coastal Empire senior citizen considering a weekend trip to attend the St. Patrick’s On the River Festival, what should you expect?
- Multiple stages of non-stop live entertainment – everything from pipe and drums to Irish dancers to contemporary cover bands.
- Carnival style games
- Plenty of opportunities to indulge in everything from fine dining to street food with lots of cold beverages (yes, many of them green!)
- Looking for a “home base” with a little protection from the crowds on the streets? Try City Market. They will have their own schedule of live Irish music, food and fun.

The Savannah St. Patrick’s Day Parade is a very old Irish heritage celebration dating back to 1813.
In it’s early days, the Savannah St. Patrick’s parade was more military in it’s nature, and even today the US military is still highly respected during the two weeks of festivities and certainly during the parade.
The Saint Patrick’s Day Parade in Savannah parade has been ongoing for nearly 200 years, interrupted only by The War Between the States and World War I.
