We hope attendees will join us in the Davenport Biergarten for drinks, snacks and games.”
Festival highlights will include an artisan vendor fair and a collaborative community art project that invites attendees of all ages to contribute to a shared work of art. Visitors also can enjoy live music by local musicians and relax on the picnic lawn in the museum garden.

The Davenport House Museum is an 1820 Federal-style home that helped launch Savannah’s modern preservation movement.
