Savannah in January is a quieter than average month, with the larger festivals holding off until February and March. Tybee Island’s New Year’s Day Polar Plunge draws a good-sized crowd; the Martin Luther King Day Parade, and other associated events, is Savannah’s January highlight.
Many Savannah events, such as the Forsyth Farmers Market and art walks visiting a selection of the city’s many galleries, run year-round. Look out too for special events at local museums and historic houses, which are a good choice for a visit at any time of the month, especially if the weather is not the best (read more about January weather in Savannah).
January’s warmer, sunny days are often just right for a nature walk at one of Savannah’s local state parks or wildlife refuges. The nearest are the huge Savannah National Wildlife Refuge (which also offers a wildlife drive) or picturesque Skidaway Island State Park. Or, you could enjoy a sightseeing or historical tour downtown without the crowds.
