Memorial Day Weekend in Savannah

🇺🇸 Memorial Day Weekend in Savannah: History, Sunshine & Southern Charm

Memorial Day Weekend in Savannah is more than just the unofficial start to summer—it’s a heartfelt celebration of history, community, and Southern hospitality. Whether you’re here to relax by the river, enjoy outdoor concerts, or pay respects to the nation’s fallen heroes, Savannah offers the perfect mix of reflection and recreation.

🌳 Honor the Meaning of Memorial Day

Start your weekend with a moment of remembrance. Visit Bonaventure Cemetery—one of the most beautiful and historic cemeteries in the U.S.—to reflect and admire the monuments dedicated to veterans. Or head to Wright Square and Forsyth Park, where informal tributes often spring up.

Looking for something official? Check local listings for Fort Pulaski National Monument events or Memorial Day services hosted by veterans’ groups throughout the city.

🎶 Live Music, River Views & Festival Vibes

The Savannah Riverfront and Plant Riverside District will be alive with energy—expect outdoor music, family-friendly fun, and unbeatable views. Grab a drink from one of the rooftop bars, stroll along the riverwalk, and take in the historic architecture that surrounds you.

🛍️ Explore Local Markets & Boutiques

Shop Savannah’s artisan markets and antique stores. The Savannah City Market and Starland District are great places to pick up something unique while enjoying food trucks, live performances, and sunshine.

🍳 Brunch, BBQ, and Southern Flavor

Whether you’re craving shrimp & grits or smoky pulled pork, Savannah knows how to do food right. Book a brunch reservation or fire up the grill at your vacation rental. Want the best of both worlds? Order takeout from a local favorite like Mrs. Wilkes' Dining Room or The Grey and enjoy a backyard-style feast without lifting a finger.

🌊 Day Trip to Tybee Island

Just a short drive away, Tybee Island offers sandy beaches, paddleboarding, and spectacular sunsets. Make a day of it—or book a Lucky Savannah property near the shore and stay all weekend.
