Jazz Takes Center Stage in Savannah

Welcome to Savannah, Georgia! The city is buzzing with excitement as the annual Savannah Jazz Festival continues its wonderful five-day run. If you’re a lover of music and vibrant atmosphere, this event is definitely a must-see!

What’s Happening This Weekend

For those who love live music, Friday marks the kickoff of a fantastic lineup featuring a series of 15 free concerts throughout the weekend. The festival includes everything from the lively SCAD Bee Sharps to the renowned Savannah Jazz Hall of Fame Band. It’s a splendid opportunity to enjoy jazz, meet fellow music enthusiasts, and soak up the positive vibes in the beautiful Forsyth Park.

Make the Most of Your Experience

With so many days of music and festivities ahead, there are a few friendly reminders to help everyone enjoy the concerts while keeping the atmosphere comfortable for all. Visitors are encouraged to bring items like lawn chairs, coolers, and blankets for lounging in the park. However, it’s kindly requested not to bring tents or beach umbrellas, as they can block the views of others eager to enjoy the performances.

Safety and respect for the performers are also essential, so please refrain from leaning or standing on stage barricades. Additionally, if you’re a photography enthusiast, be aware that using drones for photos or videos is not permitted, so keep your ground-level shots in mind!

For those looking to enjoy some delicious meals while grooving to the music, you’re in luck! While grilling in the park is not allowed, there will be plenty of food vendors on site serving a range of tasty options. To complement your meal, you can find various beverages, including beer, wine, and refreshing non-alcoholic drinks for sale.

Weather Considerations

As everyone knows, the weather can sometimes be unpredictable. In the event of severe weather, including lightning or thunder, the festival will be relocated to another venue, ensuring music lovers can still enjoy the shows safely. It’s always good to keep an eye on the sky, especially during this time of year!

A Weekend to Remember

The festivities will continue in Forsyth Park on both Friday and Saturday, culminating in a special event at Plant Riverside’s District Live on Sunday. The first show kicks off on Friday night at 6 p.m., so make sure to grab your friends and family, and head on out to enjoy a beautiful evening filled with phenomenal jazz music.
