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!

Georgiaâ™s 100 mile long coast line boasts to have 1/3 of the remaining tidal salt marshes along the entire Atlantic coast! Georgia's salt marshes are some of the most biologically productive natural systems on Earth. They produce nearly twenty tons of biomass to the acreâ”which makes them four times more productive than the most carefully cultivated cornfields, according to the Georgia Department of Natural Resources.
The enormous productivity helps to make the salt marshes primary nursery areas for blue crabs, oysters, shrimp, and other economically important fish and shellfish. Join us for a day of salt marsh exploration fun and learn why we must protect this precious ecosystem.
