When to Visit Savannah

Savannah is a preferred vacation destination almost anytime of the year. The most popular time to visit is March through June, when temperatures are mild, flowers are in bloom, and events are happening everywhere.

Visitors will find fewer crowds and lower prices during the summer and winter months, but temperatures aren't as ideal. Fall can be a favorable time to go, with a good balance of pleasant weather and fewer visitors.

• high season: March to May, late September to early November
• low season: December to January, July to August
• shoulder season: February, June, early September to mid-September, mid-November to late November
