October Ushers in a Variety of Savannah Festivals

A lot of great festivals and events are coming up in the next few weeks.  Get out your calendar and make some plans.  Here are my favorites:


Oktoberfest on the River
10/4-6
Plan to spend all day on River Street.  The oompah bands are great, but the weiner dog races are adorable.  Shop, eat, drink, be entertained.  End the day with fireworks!

Savannah Greek Festival
10/10-12
Got a baklava jones?  Want to see the REAL folks who break plates for fun?  The food is great and the dance demonstrations make you want to sign up for Dancing with the Stars!
