SAVANNAH, Ga. (WSAV) – Savannahians gathered at the Armstrong Center on Sunday to watch this year’s St. Patrick’s Day parade grand marshal be officially introduced to the public. John Forbes has been involved with the St. Patrick’s Day Parade Committee for decades but says being named the grand marshal is an honor like no other. His father, John J. Forbes Jr., served as the grand marshal of Savannah’s parade back in 1998. It’s the biggest draw to Savannah,” said George Schwarz, the 2023 grand marshal. “On St. Patrick’s Day, I get to see almost everybody that I know,” he said.
