(NEW YORK) Saint Patrick’s Day in Savannah, Georgia, is known for tourists, parades and bar hopping. Despite the COVID-19 pandemic, the city is bracing for 30,000 to 50,000 visitors on top of the regional “day-trippers,” said Susan Broker, director of the city’s office of special events, film and tourism.
“People are tired of being cooped up,” Broker told ABC News.
Hotels are expected to be over 90% full this weekend. Joseph Marinelli, president of Visit Savannah, the city’s tourism office, attributes the crush of visitors to COVID-19 fatigue and more vaccinations. A major hotel along Savannah’s riverfront said Friday it was “super slammed.”
