Starting on Friday, the Holiday season continues in Savannah. This fantastic event begins on River Street, snaking through Broughton Street and finishes in City Market. The nice perk is that there is free parking beginning at Noon on Friday, the safe areas are from Gaston Street to River Street and between East Broad and MLK Boulevard.
On Friday, art, crafts and food vendors will lay claim to the parking lots along the Savannah River. Holiday dances and music will begin in the early afternoon and will climax with fireworks over the river at 9:30 PM.
Events on Saturday begin at 9 AM, again the streets will ring with Holiday entertainment. At 5:30 PM, the Lighted Christmas Parade will commence with River Street's new Streetcar, as the honorary Grand Marshall. The car was totally restored and just recently arrived from Philadelphia. The parade will march through River Street up the ramp onto Lincoln Street and turn on to Broughton, finishing in City Market. There are plenty of great vantage points for viewing the parade.
Sunday will be the short day, but the vendors do open at 9 AM. So if you want to spend quality time in downtown Savannah this might be an event for you. For more information visit; www.riverstreet.com
