Named after Ireland’s beloved

patron saint, St. Patrick’s Day

enjoys a lively and spirited annual

celebration in Savannah, in what

has become one of the largest

festivals in the Southeast.

The 2014 St. Patrick’s Day Parade

will officially kick off on Monday,

March 17th at

10:15 a.m. More

than 300,000 people

are expected to vis-

it Savannah to help

celebrate the second

largest St. Patrick’s

Day Parade in the

United States and

to enjoy the city-

wide festivities.

Held in Savannah’s

National Landmark Historic District,

the parade begins at the corner of

Abercorn and Gwinnett Street and

culminates at the corner of Bull and

Harris Street.

Expect to see approximately 350

floats and marching units featuring

representatives from various local

Irish groups. Irish pipe bands, local

and regional celebrities, area politi-

cians and military units make regular

appearances in Savannah’s St.

Patrick’s Day Parade. You may even

have the chance to drink green

beer or to sample emerald-colored

grits, for a true taste of St. Patrick’s

Day, Savannah-style.

A beloved annual tradition, the first

St. Patrick’s Day Parade marched

through the shady

streets of Savannah

in 1824. In its earlier

days, the parade was

more of a military

spectacle, with sol-

diers from various

regiments marching in

honor of St. Patrick’s

Day. Except for major

wars, including the

Civil War and World

War I, the parade has run nearly

every year for the past 187 years.

On March 14-17, Savannah will

host the biggest party of the year.

Festivities begin on Friday, 8 a.m.

with non-stop live entertainment,

interactive games, food, cold bever-

ages and a whole lot of fun is to be

had along River Street, City Market,

Broughton Street and everywhere in

between, through Monday, as they

No visit to Savannah is com-plete without a visit to the city’shistoric cemeteries, each of whichserves as a final resting place formany of Savannah’s most fasci-nating residents. Each of thesecemeteries is situated amidincredibly scenic surroundings.

Even if cemeteries give yougoosebumps, you’ll be glad youstopped by to experience someof Savannah’s unique historyfirsthand. Just don’t stay too long!

BONAVENTURECEMETERY

Immortalized by John Berendtin his bestseller Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil,Bonaventure is the final restingplace for many of Savannah’smost prominent citizens includ-ing songwriter Johnny Mercer(1909-1976), poet Conrad Aiken(1889-1973) and plantationowner Noble Jones (1701-1775),one of Savannah’s original set-tlers who colonized the city withGeneral James Oglethorpe in1733. Located along the scenicbanks of the Wilmington River,Bonaventure Cemetery alsofeatures group burials for theAmerican Legion Field, theConfederate States of America,the Order of Railroad Conductorsand the veterans of the Spanish-American War.

Originally a 600-acre plantation,Bonaventure was sold for $5,000in 1846 to Savannah business-man Peter Wiltberger, who turnedthe land into a public cemeterycalled Evergreen Cemetery. TheCity of Savannah purchasedEvergreen Cemetery in 1907and turned it into BonaventureCemetery.

Savannah photographer JackLeigh captured the image thatgraces the cover of Midnight inthe Garden of Good and Evil —a burial statue, nicknamed “TheBird Girl,” that once stood in theheart of Bonaventure Cemetery.The “Bird Girl” statue is current-ly on display at the TelfairMuseum of Art.HOW TO GET THERE:Bonaventure is located just off Pennsylvania Avenue onBonaventure Road.HOURS: Open daily from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.

COLONIAL PARKCEMETERY

Colonial Park Cemetery is thecity’s only non-active cemetery,meaning that no more burials takeplace on this historic plot of land,located at the corner of AbercornStreet and Oglethorpe Avenue.

Walk through the graceful archerected by the Daughters of theAmerican Revolution and you will

discover a window into Savannah’srich past. Many of Savannah’searliest settlers are buried inColonial Park, whose gravestonesdate back to the 1700’s.

Today, Colonial Park Cemeteryserves as a park for manySavannah residents. ManySavannahians stroll through thecemetery in the early morning orwalk their dogs within the ceme-tery’s wrought iron perimeter inthe evening. HOW TO GET THERE: Themain entrance is located at thecorner of Abercorn Street andOglethorpe Avenue.HOURS: Open daily from 8 a.m.to 8 p.m.

Established in 1852, Laurel GroveCemetery has thousands of gravesthat reflect Savannah’s rich his-tory, situated amid groves of liveoak, magnolia and dogwood trees.This contemplative site, whichfeatures ornate ironwork and mag-nificent statuary on many of thelots, was once called SpringfieldPlantation.

Laurel Grove is divided into twodistinct sections, by a highwayconnector. Laurel Grove North,perhaps the better-known partof the cemetery, is the burial placeof hundreds of Confederatesoldiers as well as prominentcitizens like Juliette GordonLow, the founder of the GirlScouts, and Florence Martus,Savannah’s “The Waving Girl.”
