✅ Tips & Notes

• Savannah sees fewer major festivals in August - so these curated events stand out while the city quiets down a bit compared to earlier summer months 

• Booking ahead is especially smart for the VOICE Festival and tourist-y coastal tours.

• Bluffton events are largely centered around Oyster Factory Park, blending casual creativity, food, and live entertainment in a shaded lowcountry setting.

Whether you're catching a rooftop sunset, cheering at a volleyball match, or just grabbing a sweet tea on River Street, there’s no denying August is packed with reasons to fall in love with Savannah all over again. Keep this list handy, share it with your neighbors, and tag us if you make it to one of these events - we love seeing our community out and about!

Here’s to a month full of memories, music, and maybe a little Monster Jam mud.
