SAVANNAH NYE GUIDE
Savannah's riverfront and sequence of historic squares give a New Year's Eve stay a clear geographical shape. River Street is known for its cobblestones. Plant Riverside District adds another concentration of dining, entertainment and places to gather at the western end.
Moving inland, Bull Street connects a series of squares on the way toward Forsyth Park. Monterey Square is framed by landmarks including Congregation Mickve Israel and the Mercer-Williams House Museum. Its monument to Casimir Pulaski adds another point of historical interest to a walk through this part of the city.
Forsyth Park's northern entrance lies beyond West Gaston Street. The thirty-acre park is known for its cast-iron fountain, installed in 1858, with lawns and oak-shaded spaces beyond it. Keep the riverfront, squares and park as distinct stops when choosing accommodation and the meeting point for your December 31 plans.

A Savannah River outlook is not a promise of a countdown display. Book the setting independently of any unannounced fireworks.
Follow part of the historic walking route toward Forsyth Park earlier, then choose an indoor meal rather than relying on a long midnight walk.
East River Street has riverboat ticketing, but each sailing needs its actual boarding entrance and holiday return time confirmed.
Historic cobblestones and the bluff make the route more important than a straight-line distance. Decide how the group will return from River Street.

Property photo unavailableNo. The official walking route treats River Street and Forsyth Park as separate stops. River Street is known for its cobblestones, while Forsyth Park has a cast-iron fountain installed in 1858. Match dinner to the actual activity and address you choose for the evening.
City Market on West Saint Julian Street has shops and dining stops along the official walking route. Pick the businesses you want to visit and confirm holiday opening details rather than treating the whole market as one reservation.
The American Prohibition Museum is a City Market-area option for exploring Prohibition history. Check its own admission and opening details for your travel date; a neighborhood visit does not include a museum ticket.
This downtown historic site preserves the childhood home of Girl Scouts founder Juliette Gordon Low. Check the site's visit information if you want a heritage stop before the evening, rather than assuming a December 31 tour is operating.
No. The walking route passes the riverboat ticket office, but a riverside walk is separate from a sailing. Verify the operator's dated New Year's Eve departure, boarding instructions and ticket inclusions before booking a boat event.
