PHOTOS: Savannah celebrates 200th anniversary of St. Patrick’s Day Parade with green galore
Saturday’s march marked the 200th anniversary of the Savannah St. Patrick’s Day Parade. The port city welcomed tens of thousands of Irish immigrants between the 1730s and the early 1900s, and the parade has evolved from an intimate local celebration first staged in 1824 to the second largest in the United States behind only New York City. And it welcomed tens of thousands of revelers Saturday to celebrate the city’s rich Irish history.
