Savannah inspired the writings of Flannery O’Connor, poetry of Conrad Aiken, and music of Johnny Mercer. Georgia’s first capitol city remains a garden of good and evil, where music, writing, art and theater enrich the community. Museums, galleries, public art, historic theaters, a resident orchestra and Savannah College of Art and Design fuel a nonstop events calendar. Festivals like Savannah Stopover and Savannah Music Festival draw musicians and music lovers from around the world, and the Savannah Book Festival brings book lovers and renowned authors to the moss-lined city that has captivated hearts and imaginations for centuries.
