Due to the inclement weather forecast, the St. Petrick's festivities have been cancelled.
The eye-catching animal and shamrock signs up around downtown Ellijay mean it’s about time for another St. Petrick’s Celebration, which will take place Saturday, March 12, from 11 a.m.-3 p.m. The festive pet parade presented by Friends of the Gilmer Animal Shelter (FOGAS) will start at noon on McCutchen Street, near Ellijay Elementary School. The parade will proceed along North Main Street and around the downtown square heading up Dalton Street. Other downtown festivities, including live entertainment and pet contests, will follow.
