Savannah St. Patrick’s Day festivities 2021 cancelled

Tuesday, January 5th, 2021

St. Patrick's Day Cancelled 2021 Savannah Chatham County COVID

Savannah St. Patrick’s Day festivities are cancelled for second year in a row, Savannah Mayor Van Johnson announced on Jan. 5 2021.

Here’s the statement from John Fogarty, General Chairman, Savannah St. Patrick’s Day Parade Committee

We understand that the City of Savannah is not issuing any special event permits through March 2021. As a result, we will not have the 2021 Savannah St. Patrick’s Day Parade. While this is disappointing, we are confident in the City’s decision. Our top priority has always been to ensure the health, safety and welfare of parade participants and attendees.

After the 2020 parade cancellation, we were hopeful for 2021 and we had applied for the special event permit. Over the past several months we have continued to work with the City of Savannah during the permitting process and now we need to be united in doing what is best for our community. Since the first Savannah St. Patrick’s Day Parade in 1824, there have been extraordinary times when we had to cancel the parade, and this is unfortunately one of those times. Going forward, we commit to keep you aware of our future plans and we appreciate the community’s understanding and support.

-John Fogarty, General Chairman, Savannah St. Patrick’s Day Parade Committee

Savannah Telfair Museums Jepson Center Photography exhibit 2020

Youthful Adventures: Growing Up in Photography @ Telfair Museums’ Jepson Center, Savannah

The Youthful Adventures: Growing Up in Photography exhibit currently on display at Telfair Museums’ Jepson Center in Savannah seeks to celebrate and complicate views of childhood as a universal stage in life, but one that varies broadly in experience.

The images show a range in age from the emotional minefield and playful discovery of early childhood to the often probing and sometimes awkward search for identity of young adulthood. The exhibition speaks to the diversity of experiences of growing up as children seek to formulate their identities in the multiplicity of societal influences.
