It’s here! Sweet, sweet summer in Savannah has arrived. Well, technically the calendar turns over on June 21 as we mark the summer solstice. But of course, as soon as we leave May behind it really feels like summer. Now that we’ve entered into these sunshine-filled days, it’s time to check out the Savannah happenings! More free time means more fun things to do are in order. Here are a few of the events we’re most excited about.
