The parade has become more family-oriented in the past few years. We try to involve the family more in everything we do. While St. Patrick's Day in Savannah remains, for many people, a day to party, the holiday has a more solemn meaning for Cetti and the rest of the Parade Committee. Cetti is proud that the parade has gotten back to its roots in the family and the community. For Cetti, the St. Patrick's Day Parade is enjoying a renaissance as it brings members of Savannah's tight-knit Irish community together to organize the city's most ambitious annual festival.
People really enjoy being involved with the parade.
The parade's legendary Southern hospitality and warm, welcoming atmosphere will certainly be in abundance on March 17 when the 2000 St. Patrick's Day Parade winds through the shady streets of downtown Savannah. The St. Patrick's Day Parade has been a way of life for Cetti for as long as he can remember. He has participated in the St. Patrick's Day Parade since he was only seven years old. I've known it all my life and participated in it almost all my life. It's something you always remember.
