Hyundai Joined the 200th Anniversary Savannah St. Patrick's Day Parade and Celebration

Hyundai Motor America and Hyundai Motor Group Metaplant America (HMGMA) joined the 200th Anniversary of the Saint Patrick’s Day Parade in Savannah, Georgia on the morning of Saturday, March 16. As a new member in the Savannah community, Hyundai celebrated this significant St. Patrick’s Day milestone.

As a tribute to Savannah’s rich heritage, Hyundai debuted a 20-foot parade float adorned with iconic landmarks that define the city’s unique charm. From Savannah City Hall to Live Oak Avenue, the float showcased the essence of Savannah’s natural beauty and architectural marvels. In addition, the float featured the new HMGMA water tower, which was designed by Savannah College of Art and Design (SCAD) students. HMGMA employees walked alongside the float, helping to bring energy and excitement to the streets of Savannah. Following behind was a wrapped Hyundai IONIQ 5 and IONIQ 6, designed to highlight the spirit of St. Patrick’s Day.

“As new members of the Savannah community, we were honored to take part in such a historic celebration,” said Randy Parker, CEO, Hyundai Motor America. “The Saint Patrick’s Day Parade holds immense cultural significance, and we were thrilled to be a part of its 200th anniversary. This was a great opportunity to connect with the community and showcase our commitment to being an integral part of Savannah’s traditions.”

“HMGMA’s participation in the Savannah parade was not only our inaugural participation, but a demonstration of our commitment to becoming a cornerstone employer in this area,” said Oscar Kwon, CEO of HMGMA. “Our Meta Pros’ enthusiasm was contagious as they walked alongside the float containing iconic Savannah landmarks, including our new water tower, a symbol of HMGMA’s EV future here. Our participation marks the beginning of a lasting partnership with the area that we now proudly call home.”
