SCAD’s Sidewalk Arts Festival 2010—A Messy, Rainy, and Fantastic Day
There really is always a first time for everything. I spent five years attending the Savannah College of Art and Design and never once participated in our annual Sidewalk Arts Festival. I know, how could I not participate in one of SCAD's best known local events? It's free, open to the public and there are prizes (cash money prizes!) Chalk* it up to time, mid-terms, laziness, or the fact that it almost always rains that day, but I never entered SCAD's Sidewalk Arts Festival... until this year. *(And I apologize, but not really, for that truly bad pun.)

Irish pride is celebrated throughout the year in Savannah. Countdowns can be seen in establishments all throughout Savannah and the actual festivities begin taking place well into the week before St. Patrick's Day.

Apparently the cooler weather was only a week long event! It may be in the eighties again this week, but don't think that's stopping me from getting syked about the weekend. Tybee Island Pirate Fest is almost here and it has me ready to say "Avast!" to every person that walks by. (Don't even get me started on my plethora of pirate themed jokes.) And it's not just Pirate Fest, either. There are so many great things going on this weekend I'm not even sure where to get started!

Throw in workshops, panel discussions, photography, receptions, award ceremonies, parties and more and you have the makings for a superb festival!
