Question 1

What day is the Savannah St. Patrick's Day parade in 2027?

Accepted Answer

The Savannah St. Patrick's Day Parade is on Wednesday, March 17, 2027. The parade is always held on March 17, regardless of the day of the week. Festivities begin earlier in March with the greening of the Forsyth Park fountain, so check the official schedule for dates before the parade.

Question 2

What time does the Savannah St. Patrick's Day parade start?

Accepted Answer

In 2025 the parade started at 10:15 a.m., after an 8 a.m. Mass at the Cathedral Basilica. Roads along the route closed at 8 a.m. The 2027 schedule is likely similar, but confirm the start time with the City of Savannah or the Parade Committee.

Question 3

Can you drink on the street in Savannah on St. Patrick's Day?

Accepted Answer

Open containers are allowed in the Historic District in plastic cups, with limits. In 2025 the rules included a 16-ounce size limit and a ban on glass and on drinking from cans or bottles. Check the 2027 rules, because the city enforces them and fines apply.

Question 4

Where should you stand to watch the Savannah parade?

Accepted Answer

Choose a spot along the route in a square, where there is shade and a bit of room. Arrive early, since the city allows setup in squares from 6 a.m. Bring water and a trash bag, and plan your restroom stops before the parade begins.
