Savannah’s historic Forsyth Park and its extension host numerous annual events and festivals. Located in the southern part of the Historic District, the park is easily reachable by foot, car, or public transportation (though on-street parking nearby can be challenging to find during popular events).
Most festivals and special events take place in the southern section of the park.

The Forsyth Farmers’ Market is held almost every Saturday in the southern end of Forsyth Park, 9am-1pm.
The weekly market was established in 2009. Vendors sell locally produced food and plants, most of which they have grown or made themselves. The market aims to promote community engagement and to raise awareness of food access issues and sustainable agriculture. See the Forsyth Farmers’ Market website for more details.
