Rooftop viewing of Saint Patrick’s Day Parade?

Question

Haven’t found anything on google. Anyone know if there are any rooftop locations selling tickets for the parade?

Answer

Yes, Savannah is known for its vibrant St. Patrick’s Day celebrations, and many people look for rooftop spots to watch the parade. While it’s not always easy to find information online about specific rooftop venues selling tickets, here are a few popular spots that traditionally offer great views and may host special events for the parade:

The Collins Quarter Rooftop – This location is known for offering great views of downtown Savannah and is a popular spot during major events like St. Patrick’s Day. They may offer special events or ticketed access for the parade.
Rooftop at the Desoto – The Desoto Hotel offers a beautiful rooftop bar with panoramic views of the city. It's a favorite place for locals and visitors alike during St. Patrick’s Day, and they may sell tickets or host special events for parade viewing.
The Roof at Jinx – Located on River Street, Jinx is another spot that may offer rooftop access for parade viewing. They’re known for hosting live music and offering a lively atmosphere during the festivities.
The Wyld Dock Bar – While not directly on the parade route, The Wyld is located along the back river and often has special events and outdoor seating for enjoying the holiday atmosphere. They may offer some sort of ticketed access for a St. Patrick's Day experience.

In addition to these venues, it's a good idea to check directly with local hotels or bars along the parade route. Some may host private events or sell tickets to access their rooftop patios for parade viewing. Many of these places start selling tickets or making reservations months in advance due to the popularity of the event, so it's best to act early.

If you’re unable to find a rooftop spot, another option is to get to the parade route early and find a good vantage point in the public viewing areas. Savannah’s historic district is very walkable, and there are plenty of spots along Abercorn, Bay Street, and River Street to catch a great view of the parade.

Be sure to check the official websites of these venues or local event listings closer to St. Patrick’s Day for specific ticket details, availability, and reservations.
