St. Patrick’s Day is Savannah, Georgia’s, largest annual celebration. Close to 400,000 revelers line up to watch the city’s green parade on March 17th. Lucky shamrocks, little leprechauns and jewel-clad revelers spread chaos and cheer.

It later became the home of author, Joel Chandler Harris, of the famous Uncle Remus stories. By 1956, the hotel had closed and only the first floor was used for businesses.
