 Daily life in Savannah, Georgia is hip and stylish, but it's old Southern tradition sees to it that it will always maintain its serenity. Savannah, this modest city that happily welcomes a entire world, gets its name from the Native American word for “grassy plain”. Savannah has come quite a long distance from its original existence as the quiet plain.

The city of Savannah takes on the qualities of the southern belle: fascinating, benevolent, lively and impressive.

The twenty-four squares which are cleverly arranged here and there throughout the historical vicinity lay out the spirit of the downtown area. General James Ogelthorpe , between creating the colony of Georgia, fighting off the Spanish threat and working toward peaceful cohabitation with the Creek Indians, is to be credited with laying the city plan for Savannah, much of which remains intact today. These well-known squares form the cultural, historical and literal heart of the city. The many activities that help make Savannah great spread outward from there. Each unique square weaves a story of local and world history, having survived both the Revolutionary and Civil Wars.

Art and culture are to be observed on every single corner of Savannah’s energetic streets , all throughout the year. Savannah’s Music Festival in March and the Jazz Festival in September fill the air with cool melodies. African Americans, Greeks, Irish, Scots and Asians, among others, share their culture with festivals and celebrations spread out during different days of the year. Meanwhile, students of the Savannah College of Art and Design captivate the public by bringing the pavement of Forsyth Park to life with their drawings during the annual Sidewalk Art Festival. Savannah’s indoor cultural scene is packed with over eighty art galleries, museums, and theaters.
