Art lovers, families and history enthusiasts will have plenty to explore when the Davenport House Museum Fall Arts Festival transforms a corner of Savannah's historic district into a daylong celebration of local creativity on Nov. 7.
The festival, hosted by Historic Savannah Foundation, is scheduled from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at 323 E. Broughton St., according to a community announcement. The event will bring together local artists, artisans, musicians and community members for a day of family-friendly activities, live entertainment and artisan vendors.
"We're thrilled for the return of our annual Fall Arts Festival, which celebrates Savannah's creative spirit," Davenport House Museum Executive Director Danielle Hodes said. "We invite community members
and visitors to enjoy live music, fun activities and an array of artisanal goods from local vendors and hands-on arts activities led by local creatives. We hope attendees will join us in the Davenport Biergarten for drinks, snacks and games."
Art and history come together
Festival attendees will be able to browse an artisan vendor fair and take part in a collaborative community art project designed for participants of all ages. Visitors also can relax on the museum's picnic lawn and spend time in the garden spaces.
The first two floors of the museum will be open for exploration during the festival. Organizers said visitors will have opportunities to take part in activities connecting the history of the Davenport House with Savannah's contemporary arts community.
The event also will include Historic Savannah Foundation's Historic Kennedy Pharmacy and the museum gardens, creating activities across multiple historic spaces.
Admission to the Fall Arts Festival is free and open to the public.
