Although Saint Patrick's Day occurred a week ago, Savannah is still reeling from the festivities. There are still, in fact, a few revelers lingering in town, wearing their green and toting their go-cups of beer. I don't know if "ya'll" know this, but Savannah boasts the second largest St. Patrick's Day parade in the country. In first place is, of course, NYC. Needless to say St. Paddy's Day is a big deal down here. In Savannah people actually begin to adorn themselves in green an entire week before the parade actually takes place.
There is also, in fact, an entire ceremony devoted to the "greening" of the fountain in Forsyth Park that takes place the week before. People come from near and far to observe and participate in the parade, 400,000 people to be precise.
