Sep 18–20, 2026 — past. Forsyth lawn ops kept for archive / residual search.

Slow tour through the historic squares. Useful if you want the layout without walking every block in the heat.

Ghost-tour saturation is real downtown. One option if you want it; go after sunset if you go. Skip if you're done with that loop.

The main shopping stretch — 10 shops by block, from Paris Market and Savannah Bee to clothing and local art. Park once, start at the west end.

Six shops south of Jones on Whitaker. Separate from Broughton.

The Sentient Bean near Forsyth, Back In The Day Bakery in Starland — quieter than the main tourist loop.

Wormsloe's mile-long oak avenue is the reason most people go. Pair with Forsyth if you're back downtown — watch the heat midday.

Walk the spots from Forrest Gump, Midnight in the Garden, The Walking Dead, and more. Use our interactive map.
