Mar 13, 2010 - Tybee Island Irish Heritage Celebration Parade
The parade will assemble at Memorial Park, proceed down Butler Avenue,
take a left on Tybrisa Street, and end on the Strand. This Irish Parade
began seven years ago under the guidance of Jimmy and Jay Burke. It
gives all the Irish a chance to celebrate their Irish Heritage. Since
it began, it has become a tradition that seems to grow bigger every
year. There will be lots of Irish families marching, along with bands,
bagpipers, floats, and the Alee Temple Shriners. You are invited to
join in this Irish Celebration, Tybee style.
Watch for Tybee Vacation Rentals in the parade!

An annual event that is much anticipated by the locals on Tybee Island.
The Beach Bum Parade might surprise the unsuspecting visitor. Like
most parades, there are floats pulled behind cars and trucks. Unlike
most parades, however, the floats, often trailers or boats, are filled
with water-throwing paraphernalia. Spectators, lined up along the
parade route on Butler Avenue, are armed with buckets, squirt guns and
hoses. What results is an all-out water war for fun loving beach bums
of all ages.
The parade is followed by activities at many of the local businesses.
