Spring Green Festival Schedule, Map and More

Know what's going on, where to go and where to park for the St. Patrick's Day Festival in downtown Lawrenceville, Ga.

Over 15,000 people are expected to flood downtown Lawrenceville in a sea of green Saturday.

The community group New Lawrenceville is hosting their third annual Spring Green Festival in celebration of St. Patrick's Day. This year's event has grown beyond the grounds of the Historic Courthouse and now will takeover much of the square and downtown. 

Some new events and activities this year are the inclusion of the annual Family Promise Bed Race, a car show and a "Man Zone."

Due to the growth in size of the festival, New Lawrenceville has also added a shuttle to bring visitors into the festivities. Stops for the trolley are at 550 Trackside and the Gwinnett County Annex Building.

Last year, proceeds from Spring Green were donated to The Special Needs School of Gwinnett, Lawrenceville Police Benevolent Association and the Gwinnett Medical Center Foundation. The three groups split $6,000. This year money raised will go to either the Special Needs School of Gwinnett, The Central Gwinnett Cluster Foundation, Gwinnett Medical Center Foundation, Family Promise Gwinnett or the Huffman House. One of these five charities will be selected to receive the money after the festival is over.
