The city of Savannah has spring fever. First it’s St Patrick’s Day and the city is taken over by a green, then the city follows up with a classy music festival unlike any other. The Savannah festival is unique, it offers up a buffet of music. There is truly something for everyone, and you really can’t imagine a more appropriate city for such a festival.
The Savannah Festival kicks of on March 19th and continues thru April 5th, 2009. It’s difficult to give you any guidance as to choice of music. Just take a look at their extensive program and read the information on the festival website, it’s enough to keep you busy for a while. Click here to visit Savannah Music Festival.
