September in Savannah often feels very much like summer, particularly in the first weeks. The temperatures at this time of year often remain high, and the threat of afternoon thunderstorms lingers as the city transitions out of the sweltering summer months into the more clement weather of fall.

After the lull of high summer, however, Savannah’s events calendar is beginning to pick up (the real explosion in festivals and events comes in October). September’s highlight is the Savannah Jazz Festival, a weeklong festival of free music towards the end of the month, with events held across the city. Many other events in September are clustered around the Labor Day weekend.
