The city of Savannah, Chatham Area Transit and the Savannah International Trade & Convention Center have teamed up to offer expanded parking, shuttle and ferry service from Hutchinson Island on March 16.
Parking for the St. Patrick’s Day Parade will be available in the Trade & Convention Center parking lot beginning at 6:30 a.m. Saturday. Those who park on Hutchinson Island will have two free roundtrip transportation options to get across the river:
The water ferry will operate from 7 a.m. Saturday until 2:30 a.m. Sunday, taking passengers to and from River Street.
A shuttle service operated by CAT will be available from 7 a.m. Saturday until 4 a.m. Sunday, taking passengers from Hutchinson over the bridge to Indian Street just west of River Street and back again.
Cost to park at the Savannah International Trade & Convention Center is $15, which includes the cost of transportation across the river.
Parking on Hutchinson Island is a great way to enjoy the parade while avoiding heavy traffic in the downtown area expected March 16.
