Experience Savannah

St. Patrick's Day Celebration
March 15-18, 2012

Irish eyes are smiling every March 17 on St. Patrick's Day in Savannah!  The city's  population of 250,000 nearly doubles every year as more than 200,000 Irish "wannabes" pack the Savannah streets and Waterfront for St. Patrick's Day "Savannah Style."    Just  one block away from Forsyth Park and the green'd fountain, The Gastonian's location in a residential neighborhood allows it to provide a peaceful, truly relaxing  Savannah afternoon after the party.

Savannah is full of cultural and artistic offerings. The Telfair  Museum of Art, one of the nation's oldest, along with its sister The Jepson Center, provide art aficionados the opportunity to view works from the classic masters to the most cutting edge artists of today.  Other famed museums include the birthplace of Girl Scouts founder Juliette Gordon Low, the Ralph Mark Gilbert Civil Rights Museum, and the Owens-Thomas House, the finest example of Regency architecture in the country.

At night, Savannah night life comes alive with sound. Hear jazz,  blues, rock, and bluegrass. Go salsa or swing dancing or even shag  on the beach.
