Welcome to St. Patrick`s Day, Savannah Style!
Welcome to St. Patrick’s Day, Savannah Style! If you want to drink an adult beverage outside and enjoy our beautiful downtown area, you need to purchase a wristband each day (Friday & Saturday) for $5. *Wristbands are not required during Saturday’s parade* Get your wristband at any one of the 22 booth locations downtown. Signs will help direct you to one of the white sales tents to purchase your wristband. Someone will check your ID… so don’t leave that behind! Make sure to hold onto your ID since bars and restaurants are still required to check them, even if you have a wristband on! FESTIVAL ZONE # STAGES 5 WRISTBANDS WRISTBANDS 2 1 4 If you plan to drink in a bar, you do not need a wristband – only if you plan to join the rest of the revelers in the streets. If you don’t have a wristband, you could be asked to pour your drink out or you could be in violation of the city’s Festival Ordinance of 2013. Check out any one of the wristband tents for details or visit riverstreetsavannah.com. 6 3 FRIDAY SATURDAY 1 GEORGIA LOTTERY STAGE 2 SOUTHERN EAGLE STAGE 1 GEORGIA LOTTERY STAGE 4:00PM 4:00PM 3:00PM 4:00PM GA LOTTERY CASH GRAB CHALLENGE HITMAN BLUES BAND BOTTLES & CANS THOMAS CLAXTON 6:00PM VOODOO SOUP 6:00PM MAGIC ROCKS 9:00PM 8:00PM ERIC CULBERSON 2 SOUTHERN EAGLE STAGE 5:00PM 6:00PM THE ACCOMPLICES TURTLE FOLK 7:00PM 8:00PM JON LEE’S APPARITIONS NICKEL BAG OF FUNK 9:00PM 10:00PM ANDREW GIL JARED WADE KOTA MUNDI GURUFISH 3 EAST RIVER ST STAGE 4 YUENGLING STAGE 3 EAST RIVER ST STAGE 4 YUENGLING STAGE 3:00PM 3:00PM 3:00PM 1:00PM THE POSITIONS JARED WADE 4:00PM THE BRAD WELLS BAND THE ROSIES 10:00PM 5:00PM KEITH & ROSS JON LEE’S APPARITIONS 6:00PM 7:00PM 8 MILE BEND KEITH & ROSS 5:00PM AARON MATTHEW 7:00PM 5:00PM THE TRAINWRECKS THOMAS CLAXTON & THE MYTH 9:00PM 9:00PM 9:00PM 8:00PM DOMINO EFFECT HIGH VELOCITY DOMINO EFFECT HIGH VELOCITY 5 WILD WING STAGE 6 UNITED DIST STAGE 5 WILD WING STAGE 6 UNITED DIST STAGE 2:30PM 4:00PM 11:00AM 4:00PM HITMAN BLUES BAND DAVE LANDEO GEORGIA KYLE DARYL VAN HORNE 5:30PM TOKYO JOE 8:30PM BULLFROG 6:00PM 1:30PM 6:00PM KURTIS SCHUMM CRANFORD & SONS DANIEL JOHNSON BAND 7:30PM 4:00PM 8:00PM THE ACCOMPLICES ELLEN DRIVE CITY HOTEL 10:00PM 9:00PM 10:00PM THE TRAINWRECKS U-PHONIK DAMON AND THE SHOT KICKERS SCHEDULE SUBJECT TO CHANGE SCHEDULE SUBJECT TO CHANGE Wristband Q&A During St. Patrick’s Day weekend, if you want to drink an alcoholic beverage on the streets you need a wristband. Here’s your how-to guide to enjoying this party with pint in hand: What do I get with the wristband? Welcome to St. Patrick’s Day, Savannah style. With the wristband, you get to listen to live entertainment (over 40 live performances at 6 different stages) and enjoy your adult drinks to-go while you walk around the biggest party of the year. Where do I get a wristband? You can get your wristband at one of the 22 booth locations downtown (on River Street, St. Julian Street, City Market, Ellis Square, and Franklin Square). Signs will help direct you to one of the white sales tents to purchase your wristband. Credit Cards will be accepted at 10 select booth locations. Someone will check your ID…so don’t leave that behind! Make sure to hold onto your ID since bars and restaurants are still required to check them, even if you have a wristband on. How much does a wristband cost? $5 for each day (Wristbands are not required during Saturday’s parade). And, you only need a wristband if you plan to drink in the control zone, otherwise known as party central. Do I have to purchase a wristband each day? Yes, there will be different color wristbands for each day of the festival. Select wristband locations will be open as early as 7am on Friday, March 15th and Saturday, March 16th (go to riverstreetsavannah.com for a full list of locations and sales times). What is the control zone? The City of Savannah Festival Ordinance of 2013 has set aside 90 blocks of historic downtown (see map attached) to have the biggest party of the year. We want you to be safe and have a good time, so we need a little control. What happens if I forget to get a wristband for the biggest party of the year? You could face a fine and court costs totaling up to $67. Not worth it! No worries, we’ll point you in the right direction on where you can get your wristband. We’re cool like that. What else do I need to know before I get my drink on? To drink on the streets, you need to have your beverage in what Savannahians call a “traveler”- that’s a plastic cup 16 ounces or less. Where is the money going? Throwing the biggest party in Savannah, paying the bands, cleaning up after you’re long gone -- that takes a pretty penny.
