If you’re planning to visit Savannah in March, you’re making a good choice. It’s one of the most popular months of the year, since it’s when the azaleas bloom and when the city hosts its biggest annual celebration — our popular St. Patrick’s Day Parade!
There are plenty of other events happening throughout the month, too, and I’ve listed many of them below.

Savannah Weather in March
This month offers some of the best weather we see in Savannah all year! It’s hard to beat average highs in the low 70s and lows around 50 degrees.
It’s also a fairly dry month, since we only get about 8 days with any measurable rainfall.
Overall, Savannah’s weather during March is almost a reason to visit in itself — especially if you time your visit to coincide with the azaleas blooming. Here are my favorite photos of spring in Savannah in case you need inspiration for your trip!

The Top Events in March
The busiest events in March are the St. Patrick’s Day Parade (hundreds of thousands of people attend) and the Greening of the Fountain. Flannery O’Connor’s birthday celebration should be well attended, too, since it would’ve been the author’s 100th.
I’ve arranged all of the events below by date to help you find them quickly. St. Patrick’s events are marked with a four-leaf clover (🍀).
