The First Wednesday Art Walk is a self-guided tour of galleries and other venues in the downtown area. The downtown ambassadors are handing out maps in Hemming Plaza ( or Click here to download the map from our special page for First Wednesday Art Walk).

On Sunday June 27th, 2010, it’s time again for Jazz in the Park at St. Simons Island. The event takes place outside the St Simons Island Lighthouse and is scheduled at high tide to take advantage of the breeze from the ocean. And this weekend, I think we will need all the breeze we can get.
But don’t let the heat keep you indoors. Instead, take advantage of the nice summer weather and spend an evening outside under the stars and enjoy a great jazz performance.
This Sunday the Savannah Stompers are performing.
