Savannah’s Irish heritage is among the strongest in the South, with immigrants arriving in the 19th century to work on the city’s docks and railroads. Today, Wexford Pub on Barnard Street carries on that tradition with food, music, and a welcoming Irish atmosphere. Each March, the Savannah St. Patrick’s Day Parade—one of the largest in the U.S.—turns the city green as thousands line the streets to celebrate. Year-round, Savannah’s pubs and cultural gatherings keep Irish pride alive on Georgia’s historic coast.
