The heart of Savannah’s newly opened Municipal Grand Hotel is its lobby bar and restaurant, simply called Municipal Bar. This isn’t your average hotel bar thrown together to appease weary travelers. It’s the anchor of the entire operation, a vibrant, all day space where locals mingle with SCAD students, artists, and out-of-towners over a martini […]

So, why are we doing this? The answer is, well, simple. Too often, the best of what this city offers gets drowned out by the noise of the familiar, the tourist traps, or the flashy ads that don’t deliver on their promises. We’re here to cut through that clutter. To elevate what matters. To celebrate […]

A weekend built around boats, music, and a waterfront that knows how to draw a crowd Eastern Wharf is setting up for a two day kickoff at the end of the month, the kind of weekend where the river does most of the work. You get people, music, food, lights, and the kind of movement […]

Savannah is about to learn something new about itself. The SEC Volleyball Tournament is arriving at Enmarket Arena with sixteen teams and a level of play the city has never hosted before. It will be fast and loud, with rallies that swing momentum in seconds. For a town that loves big moments, this one is […]

Picture it. Ellis Square pulsing with people. Trays of Sorry Charlie Oysters pulled from local waters. The first hundred guests biting into free short rib sandwiches. Cocktails with a Pepsi twist. The Train Wrecks warming up the stage. Lucero stepping into the lights with a set that spans heartbreak, drinking nights, fatherhood, and twenty five […]

We’ve spent the past week on the red carpets, catching glimpses of stars, filmmakers, and first time directors as they made their way into Savannah’s theaters. But once the lights dimmed and the chatter fell away, it all came down to the films themselves. This year’s SCAD Savannah Film Festival delivered a lineup that ran […]

John Mulaney is returning to Savannah. The Emmy winning comedian and former Saturday Night Live writer will bring his razor edged storytelling to the Johnny Mercer Theatre on February 13, 2026, performing his new Mister Whatever Tour for one night only. Known for his sharp timing, self deprecating humor, and the kind of delivery that […]

The tour hasn’t even started yet, but Matisyahu is already deep in the work. The kind of work that happens before the lights, before the crowd, before the first bass note hums through the floor. When I reached him, he was talking about merch not the brand blasted kind, but something that sounded more like […]

The Savannah Music Festival, a cornerstone of the city’s vibrant cultural landscape, is ushering in a new era with Sinisa Ciric as its new President and CEO. Ciric steps into a role poised for a “refresh” as the festival builds towards its monumental 40th anniversary. Ciric’s transition has been a whirlwind, moving from his general […]

It’s 2:00 PM and the sun is bleaching Savannah’s cobblestones. A candy apple red and state green trolleybus rattles past the Colonial Park Cemetery. Inside, two ‘morons’ in matching blue and green printed overalls and headbands lean into their microphones, their grins wide enough to bridge the Savannah River, start to talk to a mix […]

There’s something about spring in Savannah. The breeze is just soft enough to make you forget about the humidity creeping around the corner, and Forsyth Park our communal backyard becomes the scene of something beautifully temporary. On Saturday, April 26, it’ll happen again: chalk will hit concrete, creativity will run wild, and for a few […]

Jason Isbell closed out the Savannah Music Festival at the Mercer Theatre with a performance that resonated with “power, conviction, and elegance,” a fitting culmination to the festival’s diverse lineup. Isbell, a figure both “honest and intimidating,” held the audience captive, a man who, despite his intense presence, “opens his heart for everyone.”   Trusted […]

Randall Patrick sees it. A photographer by instinct and necessity, Randall isn’t out here chasing the perfect sunset shot over River Street or the clichéd Spanish Moss covered live oak trees that tourists drool over. His Savannah is a little rougher around the edges. And yet, somehow, it’s hopeful too.   Trusted by 70,000+ Savannah […]

Last night, I finally got it. I’d seen Billy Strings before. Maybe I was distracted. Maybe I was just a tourist in the jamgrass galaxy. But April 11 at Enmarket Arena changed that. I stayed for the entire set this time and now I understand. Billy Strings isn’t just a musician. He’s a unicorn.   […]
