FREE Tara Feis Irish Celebration, March 11, Savannah
The 26th Annual Tara Feis Irish Festival will be Saturday, March 11, 2017 at Emmet Park from 11AM – 5PM
Tara Feis is a festival that promotes true Irish culture and heritage through music, dancing, crafts and storytellers in a family- friendly atmosphere. The event commences with an official Irish opening ceremony featuring the Parade Grand Marshal and local dignitaries in a parade of colorful flags and bagpipes, preceded by performances on two stages that feature traditional Irish dancing, Celtic music and a whimsical magic show.
A major component of the cherished festival is its historical value. Irish heritage in Savannah dates back to the late 1800’s and early 1900’s, where Emmet Park was once referred to as, “The Green”.
The 26th Annual Tara Feis Irish Festival is free and open to the public. This is a non-alcoholic event. Emmet Park is located in downtown Savannah at the East end of Bay Street.
