December

Arts and crafts and holiday entertainment highlight the Christmas on the River and Lighted Parade (www.riverstreetsavannah.com [1]) that happens on River Street [2].

Another beloved local tour, the annual Holiday Tour of Homes (912/236-8362, www.dnaholidaytour.net [3]) sponsored by the Downtown Neighborhood Association is a great way to get up close with a half-dozen or so of some of Savannah [4]’s best private homes, all dolled up in their finest for the holidays. There’s an afternoon tour and a candlelight tour by trolley.
