SAVANNAH, GA (WTOC) -

The actual St. Patrick's Day is one week from today, and business all around downtown Savannah are getting ready for the huge crowds.

Employees at the Byrd Cookie company are especially excited because they've only been at City Market since October of last year, meaning this will be their very first St. Patrick's Day.

"We hope to see a lot of traffic, which i think we will," said Marsha Jones. We don't open until noon, but we're going to be here from noon to six on Saturday."

If you're looking for more than cookies, you can head to the Boar's Head Grill and Tavern. Employees there say they are looking forward to another busy St. Patrick's Day weekend.

Jamie Lavin says "we have special drinks that we're going to be running and that kind of thing. We have barbeque that we run every year that's amazing and it's going to be really good, yeah."
