March Savannah Music Festivals That Will Stir Your Soul
FUN RETIREMENT IN GEORGIA
Savannah residents love music, any kind of music, as long as it’s grooving. There is no escaping the melodic sounds of Savannah. Whether it is jazz, blue grass, gospel, reggae or rhythmic drums, music is as entrenched in Savannah’s history as is the city’s arts and cultural scene and its southern cuisine. No wonder it is one of the best places to live in the south and popular among people considering retirement in Georgia.
In a two weeks, Savannah’s music scene is going to heat up, as the city gets ready to hosts two major music festivals. The city’s top venues will be the backdrop for nearly 450 performers from around the world. Music lovers will have 17 days to get their groove on, explore the historical city of Savannah and find out why it is referred to as one of the best places to live in the south.
The fun gets started on March 24th when the Savannah Music Festival kicks off. It runs until April 9th. The Savannah Music Festival dates back to 1989 and it is Georgia’s largest springtime festival. Residents of Savannah gated communities are fan favorites of this popular event. And, they are not alone. Last year people traveled from 42 states and 16 countries to attend the festival. Looking at the lineup for this year, organizers are going to have to be prepared for even more attendees because there is a little something for everyone.

From March 10th through March 12th, 100 bands will take over 10 venues as the Savannah Stopover Music Festival gets underway. With a moniker like Savannah Stopover there must be a story behind it, and yes, there is one. This festival is a benefactor of its proximity to interstates 95 and 10, which is often traveled by musicians heading to the South by Southwest Festival. Hence calling this festival the Savannah Stopover.
But one thing is for sure, don’t go trying to compare the Savannah Stopover Music Festival to any other event. This event is special in its own unique way. Held in the historic district of Savannah attendees can pop in and out of venues to check out the scene because it is all within walking distance. How’s that for convenience?
