Big events, 12 months a year.
In Savannah's balmy coastal climate, the celebrations and festivals never end. The best-known include the Savannah Music Festival, an annual draw for major artists from all over the world, and the fall Savannah Film Festival, sponsored by the Savannah College of Art and Design.
There are home and garden tours, a Black Heritage Festival, a Greek Festival, annual Scottish games, a Fiesta Latina, an Asian Festival and a Jewish Food Festival. On the water, there's the Blessing of the Fleet and Seafood Harvest Festival and, at the beach, the annual Tybee Beach Bum parade.
But the biggest celebration of all is Savannah's St. Patrick's Day, the nation's oldest and second largest March 17 celebration. Make your reservations early!
