Exciting Holiday Maker’s Market Set to Brighten Savannah with Festivities and Community Spirit

Exciting Holiday Happenings in Savannah!

Hey there, Savannah! Are you ready to kick off the holiday season with a bang? Well, mark your calendars because on Sunday, December 1, from 2 PM to 7 PM, the Holiday Maker’s Market is coming to life at Eastern Wharf. This incredible event, brought to you in partnership with SAFE Shelter and Thompson Savannah, promises a festive atmosphere packed with activities, local artisans, and community spirit!

What’s the Buzz?

The Holiday Maker’s Market isn’t just about shopping—it’s about community! Picture this: a vibrant scene filled with the sounds of live music while you check out unique gifts from local artisans. The talented local artist Rachael Shaner will be strumming away, adding a musical backdrop to your holiday shopping spree!

But that’s not all! Children will have the chance to snap some free photos with Santa and enjoy free face painting. Plus, you’ll want to warm up with some delicious seasonal drinks at Frosty’s rooftop pop-up at Bar Julian. It truly sounds like a picture-perfect day out for families!

Spread Some Holiday Cheer!

In the spirit of giving, SAFE Shelter invites everyone to bring along a new, unwrapped children’s toy or gift for their annual Toy Drive & Raffle. Not only will your generous donation go towards making the holiday season brighter for children affected by domestic violence, but it will also get you a ticket for a chance to win a luxurious one-night stay at Thompson Savannah—one raffle entry per person, please!

A Cause to Support

Now, you might be wondering about SAFE Shelter. This organization has been a lifeline for survivors of domestic violence in the Chatham County area for over 40 years. As the largest domestic violence shelter in the region, they provide emergency shelter, counseling, and resources that help families transition to safety and independence. What better way to celebrate the holidays than by helping those in need, right?

Shannon Bates, the Executive Director for SAFE Shelter, expressed her excitement for the event, saying, “We are thrilled to partner with Thompson Savannah for this wonderful event. The Savannah Night Market captures the true spirit of the season—community, generosity, and joy. Together, we can make a meaningful impact for those in need this holiday season.”

Come One, Come All!

Even better? The Savannah Night Market is free and open to the public. So, gather your friends and family, and let’s make some beautiful memories together. Grab your holiday spirit, join in the festivities, and contribute to a fantastic cause. Trust us; it’s going to be a night to remember!
