The Greening of the Fountain gets things started right. Forsyth Park expects a large turnout Friday at Noon as city officials and St. Patrick's Day marshals ceremonially dye the fountain green. The festivities continue out on Tybee Island during the weekend. Tybee's St. Patrick's Day Parade will take place on Saturday at 3:00 pm at Memorial Park on Tybee Island.
