Turn those puckered red lips elsewhere this St. Patrick's Day, says the City of Savannah.
For the return of the St. Patrick's Day Parade in 2022, the first in three years, city issued a number of changes to the annual tradition, from the span of the festival zone expanding to Victory Drive to more to-go cup options.

"For years, parade-goers have breached the parade attendants to kiss their favorite soldiers and parade walkers. In the day and age of COVID, please be mindful of social distancing and personal space," the city guidelines stated.
"DO NOT BREAK INTO THE PARADE TO KISS ANYONE!!!"
