Savannah Festivals

With over 200 festivals held in and around Savannah each year, a variety of high class events and one of the most romantic destination wedding locations, you'll be hard press to find a weekend with nothing to entertain your senses.

From the Martin Luther King Parade to the Holiday Lights Display, Savannah boasts an energy of celebration. Each month brings a new food, cultural, art, music, or film experience. Some of our well known events include the Savannah Music Festival bringing in artists from all over the world and the Savannah Film Festival sponsored by The Savannah Collage of Art and Design, but the biggest is our St. Patrick's Day celebrations. Savannah boasts the second largest St. Patrick's Day parade in the world. Here, there is always a reason to celebrate.
