Savannah is a popular destination year-round in part thanks to our mild fall and winter temperatures in Savannah averaging highs of 78 to 60 degrees between October and January with lows around 56 to 40 degrees. So, you’ll find plenty of outdoor festivals and events to enjoy as you escape the winter (or winter is coming) blues. We’ve rounded up our favorites that feature great food along with entertainment, cultural, or shopping slants that are sure to leave you satisfied. Great Ogeechee Seafood Festival, October 14-16 With over 30 vendors–many being non-profits–this event will leave you feeling full and charitable. While the event skews heavily toward seafood with fish tacos, fried shrimp, crab cakes, shrimp & grits, gator and crawfish, you can still find some good ol’ Southern BBQ, hamburgers, hot dogs, and plenty of desserts. Pair these items with arts and crafts plus live music and performances…

To help, here are four restaurants known for their hearty portions that can soak up those suds and laid-back vibes…

We’re fortunate to be working and living in city, whose foodie scene continues to grow, inspire and help Savannah be seen as more than a great place to sink your teeth into some fried chicken. New restaurants like Hugh Acheson’s The Florence and James Beard semifinalist The Grey have helped shine the spotlight a little brighter onto an already amazing culinary scene in Historic Savannah, GA. That’s why Savannah Restaurant Week is one of our favorite events in Savannah, where local chefs let their foodie flags fly. Savannah Restaurant Week is a celebration of creativity, heritage and deliciousness that runs from July 29th-August 7th. Participating restaurants offer up an incredible 3-course, prix fixe dinner that will only set you back $30 per person—not including tax or gratuity. This year we have 4 partner stops from our food tours taking part in this year’s celebration. Below you will find…

Many people have commented on Savannah’s European feel, which isn’t surprising considering its retained the Old World charm General Oglethorpe imported from England. Our fair city’s walkability, antiquity and slower pace help keep Oglethorpe’s vision for Savannah intact–and help it continually land on Travel+Leisure’s “World’s Best Cities” list. During our food tours, we share many tidbits about Savannah’s history and British influence, and we also recommend these five stops to experience Britain in Savannah. #1: Oglethorpe Monument, Chippewa Square Savannah owes so much of its historic charm to General Oglethorpe, who was born in England and came to establish the colony of Georgia. This happened in a large part to provide protection for Carolina from Florida, which was controlled by Spain at the time. Although he left Georgia after only 10 years to return home, he laid the groundwork for the historic city we call home today….

Tybee Island is a must-see if you are visiting Savannah. It’s just a short drive outside of the city, and it’s a great destination with lots of activities. It’s a perfect spot to visit on your own or with your friends and family. Kids especially love the long stretches of beachfront where they can play all day. There are many exciting things to do. Summer temperatures come early to Savannah and Tybee Island, with beach lovers often enjoying the sun, sand and water as early as March. Savannah’s beach is a throwback to beach towns of the past, with very few hotels or high-rises to block the ocean views. Chain restaurants do not dot our beach; instead, many of the local joints have been operating for decades in true Slo-vannah fashion. There’s not a lot of hustle and bustle, and…
