One of our favorite family events of the St. Paddy’s Day festivities is always the Irish Heritage Parade at Tybee. It’s less than an hour long, always features an eclectic (and very Tybee-ish) cast of characters, and is much more interactive than the downtown parade. Per ususal, we started our afternoon at a little pre-party before walking out to the parade route. ‘ Just as soon as the parade rolled, the littles were smitten. They spent an hour straight waving, eating candy, collecting beads and dancing as the urge struck! Savannah’s favorite priest. I’ve known and loved him for as long as I can remember, and he married both Honey and me and Sister and her Mister. A special guy, indeed! It’s always hysterical to see what new acts will enter the parade. You likely won’t see anything like the “Beach Chair Brigade” in any other St. Paddy’s day parades. They were honestly quite practiced in their routine and techniques. Our 2014 Grand Marshal, Dave Roberts. The Shriners acts are always a crowd favorite. You know it’s a good parade with both of the littles are cited by the Keystone Kops. Ah… and then there was the “Barstool Brigade”. Honey and Sister’s Mister were ready to sign up for this one. We were excited to see the Coca-Cola polar bears make their debut in the Tybee parade!! It was such a fun and gorgeous afternoon!! Happy St. Patrick’s Day, y’all! xoxo

What a fun, fun day! Next year I think we'll try to go for the parade – if we're not playing baseball, that is! xo
What a fun parade and it looks like everyone had so much fun. Hugs, Marty
Oh, so fun! Great family photo at the end! The ecclecticness of this parade reminds me a lot of the Inman Park Festival Parade in Atlanta. :)
Looks like so much fun. Reminds me of the 4th of July parade in my hubby's small hometown. So glad the weather was nice. It is miserable today!
That looks like a fun day for all and on Tybee too, lucky you!
Cee Cee is so "squeezable" in those leprechaun pants!

How adorable is your Dad! What a fun family event.
Love those flats, Amanda!
the walking groups in your parade are very similar to the ones we have out here in New Orleans! :)
We did our parade yesterday, and even though it rained a little, we had a great time. :)
