Morton)SAVANNAH, Ga. โ With Savannahโs 197-year-old St. Patrickโs Day parade canceled for a second straight year, organizers of the Irish celebration plan to move several smaller events online. The Savannah St. Patrickโs Day Parade Committee isnโt giving up completely on 2021. They include the greening of the wrought iron fountain in Forsyth Park, where the gushing of green-dyed water each year signals the beginning of St. Patrickโs Day festivities. The committee will also stream video of the annual St. Patrickโs Day Mass at the Cathedral of St. John the Baptist that traditionally comes right before the parade. Fogarty said the committee looks forward to celebrating St. Patrickโs Day in person again in 2022.
