Southern Women’s Show – Savannah, GA
One of the most highly anticipated events in Savannah, the annual Southern Women’s Show, attracts thousands of local women each year for three jam-packed days of fashion shows, cooking demonstrations, beauty tips, health screenings, decorating ideas and personal growth opportunities — all tailored especially for women — as well as celebrity appearances.
This year’s show also promises more than 300 exhibitors ranging from boutiques and jewelers to travel agents and health care professionals and making it the perfect one-stop shop for on-the-go women.

Throughout the show, watch for live cooking demonstrations, seminars and fashion shows.
