Bull Street from Forsyth Park to City Hall, Savannah
Thousands of costumed local elementary school children march behind
their hand-made banners in commemoration of Georgia’s founding in
1733. A colorful parade of students, musicians, local dignitaries, and
costumed characters is preceded by a military color guard and marching
band. Beginning at Forsyth Park and continuing around all five squares
of Bull Street, the procession culminates with a program in front of
City Hall, where the mayor and other officials bring greetings and
present awards for the annual Banner Competition. Free and open to the public.
